Mandatory minicamp is a wrap for the Cleveland Browns, and now the countdown begins for training camp in late July. But one thing is already clear—Shedeur Sanders needs to be QB2 when the Browns return to Berea.
Both Earl Da Pearl and Spencer German agree: the rookie has shown enough to earn that spot behind whoever ends up QB1. It’s not just about his draft status or name—it’s about what we saw on the field. Sanders showed poise, accuracy, and leadership. When he got his opportunities, he delivered. He didn’t look overwhelmed, he looked like he belonged.
And let’s be real—veterans are starting to gravitate toward him. That don’t just happen by accident. You can feel the energy shift when Shedeur is in the huddle. There’s a quiet confidence there, and it’s turning heads inside that locker room. Upside matters in a year where the Browns are clearly looking toward the future. Let the kid rise. QB2 needs to be Shedeur. Period.
