NFL player Travis Kelce advocates for Shedeur Sanders to be the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns
Shedeur Sanders, the rookie quarterback drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, has been a subject of significant discussion since the April draft. Despite initial projections, Sanders was selected after the Browns had chosen Dillon Gabriel, another quarterback, two rounds earlier.
Travis Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs, has expressed his support for Sanders to start as quarterback for the Browns. In a recent episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Kelce stated that Browns fans want Sanders to start. He believes that Sanders will bring excitement and draw attention to the team if given the opportunity to start.
Kevin Stefanski, the Browns' head coach, explained the reason for Sanders' position in the depth chart. Stefanski believes that Sanders is improving and getting better. He stated that the evaluation of the quarterbacks was all-encompassing, considering their performance in games and practice.
Despite not specifying the reasons for Kelce's support of Sanders, Kelce's statement did not imply any criticism towards Dillon Gabriel or Joe Flacco, the other quarterbacks in contention for the starting position. Taylor Swift's fiancé also advocated for Sanders to start for the Browns in their upcoming season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Sanders showed promising performance during his preseason appearances, throwing for 152 passing yards and two touchdowns while completing 17 of his 29 pass attempts. Sanders' draft position and the selection of another quarterback before him by the Browns have not been mentioned.
Despite the ongoing discussion, Sanders will start the season as the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel. The specific reasons for Stefanski's decision regarding Sanders' position in the depth chart were not detailed in the provided information.
Stefanski, who is known for leading the team to NFL playoffs in 2020 and 2023, has won 2 AP Coach of the Year awards and is on the hot seat in the 2025 season. The potential impact of Sanders on the team's excitement and attention if given the opportunity to play was mentioned by Kelce, but not by Stefanski.
