Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a fascinating response to a reporter’s question about his future role following the club’s final preseason game on Saturday.

Many fans hoped to get an extended look at Shedeur Sanders in the preseason finale against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Kevin Stefanski named Joe Flacco the starter on Monday, so it was fair to assume that Sanders would get extended playing time in the last preseason game.

The 23-year-old rookie only attempted six passes (three completions) for 14 yards. Stefanski played fifth-stringer Tyler Huntley over Sanders in the final drive, with the ex-Baltimore Raven setting up Andre Szmyt’s game-winning field goal.

Per NFL Network’s Bridget Condon, Shedeur Sanders was asked if he belongs on Cleveland’s final 53-man roster.

“Obviously,” Sanders said.

 

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where the Browns cut or trade Shedeur Sanders in favor of Huntley and Dillon Gabriel. It’d be a stunner if they kept five quarterbacks (along with Flacco and Kenny Pickett), but Sanders will likely be on the 53-man roster come Week 1.

Shedeur Sanders Just Has To Wait For His Opportunity

After a strong preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers two weeks ago, Sanders unfortunately suffered an oblique injury in practice and had to miss the second preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

At this phase of his career, it’s hard to imagine a 40-year-old Flacco holding down the QB1 job for 18 weeks. If he isn’t producing, Stefanski should play Sanders and see what the rookie can do. His ceiling is much higher than that of Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, after all.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
