Shedeur Sanders was given the Cleveland Browns' number one quarterback reps for the first time on Saturday, and football fans were left purring over his performance

The hotly-contested battle for the Cleveland Browns quarterback position took a turn this weekend as Shedeur Sanders put on an impressive performance as he was given the edge over Dillon Gabriel during training camp.

It's not how he wanted it to happen, but the Browns rookie will now get some important reps at camp.

The veteran Joe Flacco is a known commodity for Cleveland. But without Pickett, rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders should get more reps in the week ahead. If one of the rookies can take advantage of the extra chances, they could make a run at the starting job that most weren't expecting them to get right out of the chute.

With training camp underway, the Cleveland Browns have a four-man race to decide who will be the Week 1 starting quarterback. Among the contenders are Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. All four players are going to be given opportunities to earn playing time both before the season and throughout the year.

Shedeur Sanders is doing his part early in training camp for the Cleveland Browns, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s gaining ground on the starting role.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is working hard and biding his time until he gets his first real shot in the NFL.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders says he is working to "maximize" his opportunities in training camp despite getting limited reps amid a quarterback competition with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel.
