For Shedeur Sanders, who famously fell from a projected top-five pick all the way to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, he made the most of his NFL debut and may have just crashed the party in the Cleveland Browns crowded quarterback room.

Sanders got the start under center after injuries sidelined fellow Browns quarterbacks Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel. He took advantage of the opportunity, completing 14 of his 23 passes for 138 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns won their preseason opener, 30-10, on Friday night, which is mostly a formality. Preseason is a proving ground outside the pass/fail world of the regular season.
