Shedeur Sanders had a nightmare during the NFL draft. The former Colorado player was selected by the Browns with the 144th pick, which caused quite a stir. He was expected to be selected among the top 10, but that did not happen.

Sanders and his family were ridiculed and made into memes on social media. Fortunately, everything ended well when he joined Cleveland, although this move was also criticized due to the Browns‘ depth at the quarterback position.

Although it was a big blow to his pride, he will surely use it as motivation for the new NFL season, which begins in a couple of months.

This is the perfect opportunity for him to silence his critics, but he shouldn’t dwell on that too much because he has to earn his place in a crowded position. It will be a difficult challenge, but Shedeur is ready to take it on. Fortunately for him, someone with a successful NFL career has given him the green light for the next step in his career.

Scot McCloughan has confidence in Shedeur Sanders

The former general manager was one of the people who supported selecting Baker Mayfield to join the Browns in 2018. McCloughan took a chance on Mayfield, despite many doubts, and Baker ultimately delivered.

McCloughan has the same feeling about Shedeur Sanders, and he explained it in detail on the 92.3 The Fan program.

“What is Shedeur doing? He’s talking to his offensive line, running backs, and receivers. They’re just talking football. You could tell everyone was watching him and listening to him. He was their leader, by far,” said the former GM.

“I gave him a first-round grade, and I don’t like giving those as if they’re a big deal. In my opinion, he was the best quarterback in this draft,” Scot concluded.

These are surprising words, but they show that people with NFL experience have no doubt about Shedeur Sanders‘s enormous abilities. Ultimately, the quarterback will have the final say, and the pressure will be on him. We’ll see how he handles it, as it will be a big challenge.

His numbers back him up, and his hard work at rookie minicamp has been the talk of the town. He is said to be putting in extra time, which has Cleveland fans excited.

David Montgomery Carries Childhood Pain as He Returns Home For Lions-Bengals

David Montgomery will return home when the Lions face the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday. While the trip might remind him of some painful childhood memories, it'll also serve as a reminder of why the Lions running back is doing what he does.In an interview with FOX Sports' Tom Rinaldi, Montgomery opened up about his rough childhood experience in Cincinnati, which included moving to multiple homes and sleeping through cold nights. "My mom, she's a soldier," Montgomery said. "She worked double, triple shifts sometimes. But it was just never enough. There were nights where we didn't eat. There were times where the heat and stuff went off. We just turned the oven on as hot as we could. Sometimes, my brothers and I would take baths where we would be out of heat and we would just boil the water." ADVERTISEMENT […]

Hamilton given Singapore GP penalty as Alonso hits out at Ferrari driver

Lewis Hamilton has been given a five-second time penalty which demotes him to eighth behind Fernando Alonso at the Singapore Grand Prix.Hamilton exceeded track limits "multiple" times during the last laps of the Singapore Grand Prix after his front brakes failed and he tried to nurse his car home to the anger of Alonso. In a foul-mouthed radio rant, Alonso said: "I cannot f****** believe it. I mean, I cannot f****** believe it. I cannot f****** believe it. Is it safe to drive with no brakes?"For me, you cannot drive when the car is unsafe. Sometimes they try to disqualify me with no mirror, and now you have no brakes and everything is fine? I doubt it."Hamilton just held off Alonso by four tenths but his five-second time penalty put him behind the Aston Martin driver, whose seventh place is […]

After Tough Game 1 Loss, the Mariners Now Face the Cy Young Frontrunner

<!--> [--> Rowan Kavner MLB Writer <!--> --> SEATTLE – The Mariners had already waited 8,755 days since their last home postseason win. Now, that wait will last at least one day longer. This time, unlike their last opportunity to win a playoff game at T-Mobile Park three years ago, they managed to scratch a couple runs across. This time, the extra-inning affair only went 11 innings; it didn’t go 18. This time, it started the American League Division Series; it didn’t finish it. The Mariners still have a chance to make amends. But in their first home playoff game since a gutting marathon loss against the Astros ended their season three years ago, they were again left to wonder what could have been in a 3-2 defeat to start the ALDS. On Saturday night, the Tigers outscored, outmaneuvered and outlasted the Mariners, who remain […]

Bengals Have Cooled Tensions, Shouldn’t Look to Add a QB at Deadline

The Cincinnati Bengals' season was derailed in Week 2 when Joe Burrow got hurt, and most people would say they need to upgrade from backup quarterback Jake Browning.Julian Edelman says that's not the case.On "FOX NFL Kickoff," Edelman said Browning has shown that he's capable of enough success to start the rest of the season. He also noted that no quarterback is going to come in the middle of the season and build a good rapport with the playmakers around him quickly enough to make a big impact."I would not," Edelman said of trading for a new starting quarterback. "Browning shows that he's had success. He went 4-3 a couple of years ago when Joe Burrow got hurt then. He's been in this system. You're not going to bring anyone in that's going to know these players like Browning immediately […]

Rodina slavila všech šest gólů, smál se Darida po návratu do Plzně

Už ve 12. minutě Darida napřáhl ke střele, kterou vyrazil Martin Jedlička. Ondřej Mihálik pak z dorážky poprvé v utkání rozvlnil síť. Podruhé bývalý kapitán národního týmu sám přihrál na gól Václavu Pilařovi, který zvyšoval na 2:1. O obě trefy se postarali hráči, kteří na západě Čech zanechali výraznou stopu.Nemrzí vás, že jste nedotáhli zápas do vítězného konce?Těžko se mi to hodnotí. Bylo to opravdu bláznivé utkání. Dvakrát jsme vedli, sahali jsme po třech bodech a náš výkon byl velmi dobrý. Ke konci ale Plzeň skóre otočila. Našli jsme však v sobě sílu odvézt si alespoň bod, který s pokorou bereme. Má pro nás velkou cenu a věřím, že nám zase dodá sebevědomí.Vy jste ale divoký závěr musel sledovat jen z lavičky.Nebylo to nic příjemného, když jsem viděl, jak Plzeň otočila vývoj. O to víc si cením, že se kluci nevzdali a bojovali až do konce. Obrovský dík patří Kučerovi, který to […]
