Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss defended\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n
Before the Browns played their Week 2 game against the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Sanders\u00a0shut down\u00a0Baltimore taking him in the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
\u201cSanders knew that Jackson, a two-time MVP and one of the top players in the league, was not going to be losing his job as Baltimore\u2019s starting quarterback anytime soon,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the report came out, many fans took aim at Sanders for nixing a team drafting him. However, Moss thinks the quarterback made a wise decision and defended the Browns\u2019 quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cLamar Jackson is probably going to retire with this organization,\u201d Moss\u00a0said on Sunday NFL Countdown. \u201cSo, if the backup does get in, he\u2019s in for garbage time. So, I can see why Shedeur Sanders made that decision. I want to go compete for a job and get out there and play as a rookie.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Moss notes, Sanders wouldn\u2019t have gotten a chance at playing time with the Ravens. But, with the Browns, the rookie quarterback could very well get into game action and start games this season.<\/p>\n
After the news came out that Sanders nixed the Ravens\u2019 drafting him, he spoke to the media about the report.<\/p>\n
However, Sanders\u00a0didn\u2019t delve much into it, as he says he\u2019s just focused on the present and being with the Browns.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy response is I\u2019m focused on the now,\u201d\u00a0Sanders said. \u201cI don\u2019t really talk about anything in the past, and whatever happened in the past, it is what it is. I\u2019m more focused on how this game went and figuring out how to move forward from here.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t even believe, my memory doesn\u2019t go back that far. I don\u2019t even remember anything post-draft. I just remember I\u2019m here, I go to practice every day, and it\u2019s a 24-hour rule. \u2026 It serves no purpose in my life,\u201d Sanders added.<\/p>\n
Sanders is currently Cleveland\u2019s third-string quarterback and has been inactive in both games this season.<\/p>\n
The Browns selected Sanders 144th overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Part of the reason why Sanders denied being picked by the Ravens was that he wanted a chance at playing this season.<\/p>\n
However, he has yet to be active in a game, but he is getting practice reps. CBS analyst and former NFL lineman Ross Tucker claims Cleveland\u00a0has a plan in place\u00a0for Sanders to get him practice reps.<\/p>\n
If the Browns continue to lose, perhaps Gabriel and Sanders will both start games this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
