Shedeur Sanders is certainly a fan favorite at Cleveland Browns training camp as the rookie quarterback prepares to compete in a crowded quarterback room. During Saturday’s practice, Sanders was talking and taking pictures with fans but wanted to get everyone involved.

So, the former Colorado QB brought everyone in, including a lot of young fans, to get in a group photo. However the competition goes, Sanders has certainly embraced the fandom regardless and wanted to give back.

So, he gave a lot of fans a really cool memory. You can see the forming of the group picture below.

Sanders might be a fan favorite, but that won’t necessarily win him the QB competition. Cleveland has veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett at the top, not to mention fellow rookie signal caller Dillon Gabriel.

The Browns selected Gabriel out of Oregon in the third round but took a shot on Sanders after he slipped to the fifth. Even with a stellar two years at Colorado, Sanders’ draft slide was certainly surprising and much discussed.

The supposed most popular quarterback on the team’s roster is receiving the fewest reps in camp so far though. On Friday, Sanders opened up to ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi on his limited practice reps.

“I don’t think that’s my place to answer, to give the answer to that,” Sanders said Friday when asked why he thinks he isn’t getting reps with the first-team offense. “I feel like that it’s not in my control, so I’m not going to think about that or even have that in my thought process of why it is. There’s a lot of people who want to have the opportunity to be at this level, and I’m here and I’m thankful to have the opportunity. So, whenever that is, that is.”

According to Oyefusi, Sanders hasn’t received any first-team practice reps and has even been forced to throw to equipment staff members as the last quarterback in the four-man competition. Nonetheless, Sanders is keeping his chin up in the face of adversity.

“It doesn’t make me feel down or left out because I know who I am as a person,” Sanders said. “I know who I am as an individual, and I know what I could bring to this team. So, I can never feel less than any circumstance.”

Sanders showed he’s more than capable of success during his two years at Colorado. Under his father’s coaching, Sanders amassed 7,364 passing yards and 64 touchdowns compared to just 13 interceptions in his two years with the Buffaloes.

Sanders shattered over 100 program records at Colorado, and was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year for his efforts in 2024. He also won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award his senior year.
