Shedeur Sanders had to address quite the report following the loss the Cleveland Browns were handed by the Baltimore Ravens
The Cleveland Browns are 0-2 on the season with two AFC North losses already on their record. In Week 2, the Baltimore Ravens handed them a 41-17 defeat on the road.

The Cleveland Browns are 0-2 on the season with two AFC North losses already on their record. In Week 2, the Baltimore Ravens handed them a 41-17 defeat on the road. A 10-3 halftime deficit turned into a second-half collapse for Cleveland. Things don’t get any easier from here, with three straight games against NFC North opponents coming up. Before the game, an interesting report surfaced about Shedeur Sanders allegedly turning down a chance to be drafted by the Ravens—something notable given that he would have potentially been the backup to Lamar Jackson.
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders sets the record straight after the Ravens game
“I don’t even remember anything post-draft. I remember I’m here,” Sanders said after the game. “I go to practice every day, 24-hour rule. I just found out. I didn’t even know about it. It didn’t serve [any] purpose.”
Sanders is currently the Browns’ No. 3 quarterback, though that could change if Deshaun Watson returns this season. That is a decision that the Browns will face down the road. Rookie Dillon Gabriel, a third-round pick, already appears to be further along in his NFL adjustment and is serving as Cleveland’s primary backup. In the Week 2 loss, Joe Flacco went 25-of-45 passing before being pulled in the fourth quarter for Gabriel, who threw his first career touchdown.
Whether Sanders actually turned down the Ravens is unclear, but his brushing off of the report makes it easy to believe it could be. His approach—staying locked in on his current role—might be the best way to handle the situation. At the end of the day, Sanders was a fifth-round pick who earned his way onto the Browns’ roster. The likelihood of him seeing the field this season is slim unless multiple things go wrong. Meanwhile, had he been in Baltimore, he might be just one play away from being forced into action.
