Shedeur Sanders got his first taste at the NFL life as he among the Cleveland Browns 2025 draft class, undrafted free agents and tryout players got to practice for the first time at rookie minicamp, in Ohio.
Flashy running back from the national champions Ohio State Buckeyes Quinshon Judkins and Tennessee Volunteers Dylan Sampson lined up across from one another to race during a set of bag drills.
An uphill battle! Shedeur Sanders acts nervous while presenting himself to his Cleveland teammates
The No. 5 pick overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, defensive tackle from the Michigan Wolverines Mason Graham, received instruction from his coaches. And the two quarterbacks drafted by Cleveland, Oregon Ducks superstar Dillon Gabriel, and Colorado Buffaloes stud Shedeur Sanders.

Abdul Carter’s Rookie Season: Sack Predictions & Analysis
As part of the first meeting of rookie minicamp, Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told the players in the room that the standard at the organization is simple: do what you’re supposed to do, when you’re supposed to do it every time, in order to make the team.
“If you were drafted in the first round, you have not made the team yet. If you were undrafted, you have not made the team yet, it doesn’t work that way. Your second goal, once you’ve made that team, is to earn a role. No one will be given a role, it doesn’t work that way, yo will earn a role, and you’ll earn that role based off what you do in this room, in your position meeting room, in the weight room, out on the field, in this building,” Stefanski said.
The head coach for the Browns since 2020 then asked the young players to introduce themselves to the rest of the team. One by one, the newcomers told the room where they were from, what position they played and where did they go to college. Mason Graham kept is short and down to business, while Dillon Gabriel sounded confident and determined.
When it was Shedeur’s turn, though, the former Colorado superstar seemed a little bit nervous. “Shedeur Sanders, quarterback, from Dallas, Texas, Colorado,” he said, while trying to end as soon as possible with the formality. Coach Stefanski then asked the new Browns to get to know their teammates and spend the next couple of days to get better at it.
Gabriel and Sanders get their first taste at QB
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders spent a portion of the individual periods in under center work and in mirror drills, as well as another portion throwing to the pass catchers. Both took reps during each portion of the practice drills.
They also ran through 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 team drills. Sanders and Gabriel took reps during each set of drills. The former Oregon Ducks superstar made a read through traffic and connected with wide receiver Gage Larvadain on a pass. The Colorado Buffaloes standout also connected with Larvadain in traffic.
Shedeur Sanders later connected with tight end Harold Fannin Jr. on a pass down the sideline, which Fannin caught and stayed in bounds. During red zone drills, Gabriel connected with Fannin who was tightly covered for a touchdown. Both quarterbacks looked good, as they fight for a spot on the final 53-man roster for the regular season.

Super-sub Isidor completes Sunderland comeback with 95th-min winner
Wilson Isidor was the hero at the Stadium of Light as an impressive Sunderland came from behind to snatch a late 2-1 victory against Brentford.Regis Le Bris' side were often in control but had to wait until the 95th minute to finally take the initiative as the substitute Isidor rose highest to hand the hosts all three points. After a tetchy first half, Brentford were given a golden chance to take the lead from the penalty spot after Reinildo pulled down Nathan Collins during a set-piece. Kevin Schade's resulting spot-kick lacked any conviction though, as Robin Roefs saved with ease.

Brilliant Bournemouth beat shot-shy Spurs to inflict Frank’s first PL loss
Thomas Frank suffered his first Premier League defeat as Spurs head coach after Bournemouth deservedly won 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A woeful Spurs had just one shot on target, which came in the 68th minute, in a sorry performance that ended Frank’s honeymoon following opening league wins against Burnley and Manchester City.Spurs could have moved top with a win over Bournemouth, but the visitors looked like the team aiming for the summit with an outstanding performance in north London that saw them have 19 shots, with six on target. Their very first effort in the fifth minute put them ahead as centre-back Marcos Senesi picked out an unmarked Evanilson inside the box, and he hit a shot that deflected off Spurs captain Cristian Romero to loop over goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. It was Spurs’ first Premier League goal conceded […]
