During a training session with the Cleveland Browns, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders delivered a near perfect pass between two defenders with such precision that it sparked a wave of reactions across social media. The throw, executed with barely a millimeter to spare, added fuel to the debate over whether Sanders is just lucky or truly a generational talent. His timing, accuracy, and coolness under pressure were on full display, marking a pivotal moment in the race for the team’s starting quarterback position.
This pass, which quickly went viral, is more than just a highlight; it’s a statement. Sanders was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft as the 144th overall pick, raising eyebrows not because of his skills, but due to concerns about his attitude leading up to the draft. Yet, this video could be proof that his ability on the field outweighs any previous doubts off it.
Sanders is currently competing with Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and veteran Joe Flacco for the starting job. Deshaun Watson, though still officially on the roster, is sidelined while recovering from injury. That situation opened the door for the Browns to acquire Kenny Pickett in a trade with the Eagles, instantly changing the dynamic of the quarterback room. Sanders may have started as a long shot, but plays like this could shift perceptions.
A contested QB room: Pickett leads, but nothing is set in stone
Is Shedeur Sanders the answer for the Cleveland Browns at QuarterBack?
According to team insiders, the Browns’ coaching staff has established an early practice rotation. Kenny Pickett is currently taking most of the first-team reps, with Gabriel behind him. Sanders and Flacco are rotating in the third and fourth spots. While this depth chart isn’t final, it does reflect the coaching staff’s current evaluations based on performance in early drills. The real test will come in the preseason games, where live defense and real pressure will separate the hype from the substance.
The viral video of Sanders’ throw has attracted both praise and criticism on X . Some users were impressed, while others downplayed the play, pointing out that it occurred in a no-contact drill with little defensive pressure. One user wrote, “There is not one QB in college and some high schools who cannot make that same pass,” while another joked, “Let’s see him against actual defenses.” Still, among the jokes and sarcasm, there’s also real excitement from fans who believe Sanders might become the Browns’ next big thing.
Whether this was a flash of brilliance or the beginning of a true breakout moment remains to be seen. But in a crowded quarterback room and with a history-making throw now on his résumé, Shedeur Sanders has made it clear: he’s not here to sit quietly on the sidelines.

Week 6 NFL QB Power Rankings: Can Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield break into top five? Raiders’ Geno Smith plummets
1 He may not have gotten the best of the rival Patriots in a surprise Week 5 defeat, putting the ball in harm's way a bit more than usual as of late. But he's still the NFL's most trustworthy playmaker at the position this side of Patrick Mahomes.2 This guy's a machine out there. Yes, we've seen before Goff can be shaken with steady pressure, but that's most quarterbacks. Ever since a slow Week 1, he's been on the money, now leading the NFL with 12 scoring strikes.

Inside the Phillies’ home clubhouse, where they hope to return: Who sits where — and why?
After the boos rippled through Citizens Bank Park on Monday night, the Phillies were left with silence.It filled the clubhouse. Some players sat alone at their lockers.

Půl milionu za hodinu. Ronaldo se stal prvním fotbalovým miliardářem
Finanční experti renomované agentury Bloomberg, kteří podrobně prozkoumali Ronaldovy kariérní výdělky, investice a reklamní smlouvy a upravili je o aktuální daňové sazby, ohodnotili jeho čisté jmění na 1,04 miliardy liber (29,5 miliardy korun). Na svůj seznam miliardářů zahrnul Bloomberg Ronalda poprvé.Čtyřicetiletý Portugalec má doživotní smlouvu se společností Nike, která má údajně celkovou hodnotu 745 milionů liber (přes 21 miliard korun). Kontrakt má také se značkami Tag Heuer, Armani, PokerStars, Samsung, Unilever, Louis Vuitton a mnoha dalšími.Mezi sportovce-miliardáře ale vynesla Ronalda především smlouva v saúdskoarabském Al-Nassru, kde vydělává neuvěřitelných 300 liber za minutu (8500 korun).
