NFL Team With 2x Pro Bowl QB Urged to Pursue Shedeur Sanders originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is going to get a taste of his first in-game action at the NFL level on Friday as he'll be the starter for the team's preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers.

As a fifth round draft pick and presumably lower on the Browns' quarterback depth chart, Sanders isn't in a position to take anything for granted. Every snap matters -- whether it's a preseason or regular-season game -- and represents a chance to prove himself for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Shedeur Sanders was so good in his preseason debut that NFL fans are already wondering if the Cleveland Browns got the steal of the draft. Sanders, the 144th overall pick from this year's draft, got the start this Friday against the Carolina Panthers primarily due to injuries.
