Shedeur Sanders mutes himself, literally, on Browns’ QB situation

Marshawn Lynch had “I’m right there, so I will not be condemned to a fine”.

Bill Belichick had “we went to Cincinnati”.

Now, SheDer Sanders has found an equally inventive way to answer questions from journalists without answering the questions: silence.

Of course, the recruit of Cleveland Browns moved his mouth and made a gesture when asked him on Wednesday on the fact of staying quarter-Arrière 3 of the team after the colleague QB Dillon Gabriel was promoted to start.

But no real word has come out of his mouth.

Essentially, Sanders pressed the silent button on itself – which made the answer so brilliant.

Sanders was a quarter of the star College for Colorado, playing for his father and the legend of the NFL Dion Sanders, and was considered by some as a first-round choice in the 2025 draft. Instead, he fell into the Browns in the fifth round (n ° 144 in total) after Cleveland has already selected Gabriel out of Oregon.

During the first four weeks of the 2025 season, Gabriel was quarter 2 of the Browns and Sanders was n ° 3, both behind the 18-year-old veteran Joe Flacco.

But Flacco was ineffective in the driving of Cleveland at a start of 1-3, which prompted the Browns to announce Wednesday that Gabriel will be their starter of week 5. Flacco fell to n ° 2 with Sanders remaining at n ° 3.

Later Wednesday in the Browns locker room, Sanders was questioned by a journalist for not having set up on the depth board. He smiled widely and gave a voiceless answer. Journalists tried at least four times more to bring Sanders to answer similar questions, causing only a similar pantomimed answer.

Sanders’ behavior may have been in response to critical remarks made Monday by the former NFL coach and current analyst Rex Ryan.

Last week, during an interview with EspnCleveland, Sanders was asked about his feelings about being a quarter of the NFL. During the conversation, he made a few comments – including “if you see the quarter -back playing in the league at the moment, I am able to play better than that” and “many teams would play me, but it is not in the plan of God at the moment” – which rubbed Ryan in the wrong direction.

“This kid speaks and he sink his mouth,” said Ryan a few days later, “Get Up” by ESPN. “As he said:” I can be a quarter-back leaving “with his arms crossed like that. Get your A-at the forefront and study and do all that. If I know, the whole League knows it. Stop being an embarrassment in this way. You have the talent to be the quarter, you should be embarrassed.
