Shedeur Sanders is asked to respect Joe Flacco in order to achieve what he wants most with the Browns

Shedeur Sanders arrived in the NFL with star power, swagger, and high expectations, but his path with the Cleveland Browns is already filled with hard lessons.

After slipping from first-round projection to a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders now finds himself in a crowded quarterback room, competing for the starting job against seasoned veterans like Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett.

Shedeur Sanders makes a surprise visit to a youth football program and gets a hilarious response

Despite the unexpected draft-day tumble, the Browns haven’t ruled him out. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees has kept the door open for any of Cleveland’s four active quarterbacks to emerge as the starter, offering Sanders hope.

Still, many believe that the 23-year-old would be better served focusing less on instant impact and more on absorbing knowledge from the experienced Flacco.

That was the advice from WWE star Michael Mizanin, known as ‘The Miz,’ who weighed in on Sanders’ situation during an interview. “If you are in a quarterback room with Joe Flacco who has been to the Super Bowl, won the Super Bowl, has done incredible things in the NFL, I would just put my head down and learn and listen,” Mizanin said. “He has a great coach in Kevin Stefanski and I think just be the player that he was in Colorado.”

“Be yourself, but stay humble”: The Miz offers insight on Sanders’ rookie path

The Miz didn’t suggest Sanders lose the flair that made him one of college football’s biggest stars. On the contrary, he encouraged Sanders to remain true to the qualities that earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2024. “I wouldn’t want him to change,” Mizanin said. “The best person is a person that can’t help being themselves, right? … I think he’s a born leader.”

While the spotlight will inevitably follow him, the advice is to balance confidence with humility. With Flacco already stating his intent to win the starting job, Sanders has stiff competition ahead. However, early signs suggest there’s no animosity between the two.

At a recent practice session, Sanders lightened the mood by asking the 40-year-old vet, “You ever hit that dance?” before breaking into a few steps himself. Flacco laughed it off: “I don’t know if I’ve ever hit a public dance move in my life.”

Though the competition will intensify, their light-hearted interaction hints at a healthy relationship. Sanders‘ charisma and talent are undeniable, but earning trust and learning from battle-tested veterans like Flacco may be his fastest path to becoming a franchise cornerstone in Cleveland.

Fantasy Football Week 6 Start ‘Em & Sit ‘Em Quarterbacks: Stafford stays red-hot against banged-up Ravens

I hope that Williams continues to play well and can remain a must-start Fantasy quarterback in all leagues.Now, the last time we saw Williams, he had his worst Fantasy outing of the season in Week 4 at Las Vegas with 13.8 points, which snapped a three-game streak where he scored at least 20.9 points. But he should get back on track this week against the Commanders, who have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks to score at least 22.7 Fantasy points. Last year, Williams faced Washington in Week 8 and scored just 9.9 Fantasy points in the game where the Bears lost on a Hail Mary. Williams will be much better in the rematch this week and has […]
