The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback competition just took another turn with Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders hitting the field together for a workout on Friday. Talk about getting right down to business before training camp even starts! These guys, alongside teammates like wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond, were caught on camera via Instagram user @marrinthecut’s stories, with Jared Mueller of Dawgs by Nature also relaying the highlights. You can feel the energy building with these pre-camp sessions.
Monken’s Big Task: QB1
This whole situation is huge for Cleveland because they’re under a new regime with first-year head coach Todd Monken, who came over from the Baltimore Ravens as their former offensive coordinator. Monken’s biggest job right now, hands down, is figuring out who the starting QB will be. Training camp, which kicks off on Friday, July 31, is absolutely gonna be crucial for him to make that call. Both Watson and Sanders are gonna get their chances to shine, and honestly, the stakes are super high for both of them.
The Gap Is Narrowing
So, who’s got the edge right now? Watson is still the best guess to lead the pack, but listen up, because the gap isn’t vast anymore. Not even close. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and cleveland.com had an update back on June 8, right before mandatory minicamp. She said that for much of the offseason, Watson “had the edge over Sanders based on his superior athleticism and experience.” But then, here’s the kicker: Sanders “seemed to have narrowed the gap the past couple of weeks with his grasp of the playbook and increased efficiency in practice.” That’s the kind of news that makes you sit up and pay attention!
Training camp on July 31 is gonna be pure fireworks as these two go head-to-head for the starting job. Get ready, because this QB battle is just getting started, and it’s going to be intense.
