Sheder Sanders has a lot of work in front of him after appearing as QB4 on the first depth painting of the Cleveland Browns of the pre-season on Monday.
Sanders tries to focus on this rather than a potential visit to his famous father.
After the temple of renown of professional football and coach of Colorado, Deion Sanders, said in an interview that his son had asked him not to visit him at the camp, the young Sanders explained why on Monday.
“I don’t want him to come and see me right now because I want to get to where I want to go, then for him to see me,” Sheder Sanders told journalists. “I don’t want him to come and see me get some representatives, and he applauds like a good father. Like, no, you can’t be proud of me right now. I have to arrive where I go, and I know that it is a lot that I have to do to get there.
“It’s a bit like I just wanted everything I do is right to focus on this time, and I don’t want distractions because we know how the media, we know how everyone would take it and withdraw from the team, just to be my own father who presents himself. So, it’s a gift and a curse at the same time.”
Sheder Sanders experienced a precipitated fall in the project after it was to be selected in the first round as one of the first quarters of the board of directors. He was not even the first QB selected by the Browns, who chose the quarter-back of Oregon Dillon Gabriel in the third round before adding Sanders to the fifth (144th in total).
Now Sanders fights against Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco and Gabriel for camp representatives. Sanders is the only one who has yet received representatives from the first team.
On Monday evening, the Browns published an unofficial depth painting for the opening of the pre-season Friday at the Carolina Panthers. Flacco, Pickett and Gabriel were ahead of Sanders in this order.
In the process of blurring the waters even more, the Browns sign a fifth quarter to Tyler Huntley, according to several reports on Monday. The former 27-year-old backup for the Ravens of Baltimore (2020-23) and Miami Dolphins (2024) began 14 times in 25 career games and thrown for 2,876 yards, 11 affected and 10 interceptions.
The addition of Huntley comes while other Cleveland QB undergone injuries. Pickett, for example, has not been fully practiced since the hamstring injury on July 26, while Gabriel was limited on Monday due to the waterproofing of the hamstrings. Sanders was held on Saturday because of arm pain.
Some have hypothesized that the fall of Sanders was the result of bad advice he received from his father, who was his coach to Jackson State and Colorado, and that the NFL teams would not want the spectrum of Deion Sanders to be on their operation.
DEION visited the brother of Sheder, Shilo, at the Buccaneers training camp in Tampa Bay. But he is also dealing with a full plate: he had his bladder withdrawn due to a tumor earlier this year, and his buffaloes are a few weeks before their first game of the season in 2025.
“It was something on which we don’t even have a formal conversation because it was like,” you all need to focus on what you can focus. I can’t sit here and feel sorry for me, and then it all affects you, “said Sheder Sanders.
