Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam says he's not the one who drafted rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders. It was all general manager Andrew Berry's doing.

Despite a narrative to the contrary, Haslam said that choosing Sanders in the fifth round was GM Andrew Berry's decision

The Cleveland Browns surprised the football world when they drafted quarterback Shedeur Sanders with a fifth-round pick in this year's draft, and team owner Jimmy Haslam is making it clear that it wasn't his decision.

Gabriel and Sanders join veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco competing to be the new Browns QB1. This does not factor in Deshaun Watson who remains on the roster, but is still recovering from an Achilles injury. Here is what you need to know about the Browns quarterback rumors.

While Haslam didn’t cast away Sanders, it seems like he doesn’t want to go down in the wreckage if the former Colorado QB winds up being lackluster.

The Cleveland Browns aren't treating rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders much differently from your typical fifth-round draft pick, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson.

NFL fans are convinced that Myles Garrett staying back to help Shedeur Sanders means he wants him as the starting QB.
