Mike Martz joined Baskin and Phelps and broke down Shedeur Sanders' progress as an NFL quarterback, what he thinks has been the contributing factor to his progress, and whether or not he can be a legitimate starter in the league. He also discussed Kevin Stefanski's abilities as a head coach and why he thinks Stefanski will be in high demand if the Browns part ways with him, as well as his thoughts on the Notre Dame sitting out of their bowl game after not making it in to the College Football Playoff.
