Joe Flacco did not hold back when Shedeur Sanders showed up in a visor during a candid offseason exchange captured by Netflix’s Quarterback.
The moment, which quickly spread across social media on Wednesday, came from the newly released docuseries and featured the two quarterbacks in conversation. Flacco zeroed in on Sanders’ headgear choice right away and launched into a pointed rant about helmet visors, making clear he thinks they serve little purpose once the games start.
Sanders pushed back briefly, saying modern visors do not fog up on the field. Flacco wasn’t buying it.
He argued that players wear them mostly for looks and said they’re the kind of accessory that exists to make someone “look sweet” for the cameras. He also said he would be embarrassed if his own children adopted the style, and went as far as saying any quarterback wearing a visor looks like a total idiot during live action.
The exchange added another memorable chapter to the relationship between the veteran and the young Browns quarterback. Flacco had once made it clear he had no interest in mentoring Sanders, but that’s not how things played out. The Netflix footage shows that his guidance, however blunt, has gone beyond football instruction.
Sanders was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 144th overall pick and was called into action late in his 2025 rookie season. He appeared in 8 games, finishing with 1,400 passing yards, 7 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He completed 56.6% of his passes and posted a 68.1 passer rating.

Cowboys Fans May Hate How This Jalen Carter Twist Helps Philly
The Eagles long-term plan along the defensive line is starting to look a little less settled, and that matters in Dallas even before any move is made. Philadelphia is said to be reluctant to commit to a lucrative multi-year extension for Jalen Carter, which has opened the door to speculation about whether the Eagles would rather reshape that part of the roster than pay to keep it intact.
Josh Sweat is the other name making this feel relevant for Cowboys fans, because his situation in Arizona has reportedly grown uneasy and his history against Dallas is already part of the conversation. Sweat has piled up 6.0 career sacks against the Cowboys and remains a familiar nuisance from years of matchups, so any path that puts him back in Philadelphia would be one more reminder that the Eagles are still trying to find a way to stay one step ahead in the division.

Cowboys Finally Found What Makes Dak And The Run Game Click
The Cowboys run game started to look more functional last season once Brian Schottenheimer and Klayton Adams took over the offensive operation, and the change was about more than just a new voice. Dallas leaned harder into tight ends in its personnel packages, moving away from the old habit of living with three wide receivers and giving the offense a sturdier look that helped the blocking and opened up more room for Dak Prescott to work.
Those heavier formations also made the Cowboys less easy to diagnose, which mattered for an offense that had grown familiar under Mike McCarthy. With more two- and three-tight-end looks, Dallas gave defenses different problems to solve and created a more versatile attack, one that could stress coverage and the front at the same time. The bigger question now is whether that structure can keep producing the same kind of edge when opponents spend a full offseason preparing for it. [Read more 🡒]
Commanders Fans Wont Like Where Terry McLaurin Just Landed
Terry McLaurins place in the conversation around the NFC East took a hit in ESPNs annual receiver rankings, and it comes at a time when Washington is still trying to reestablish him as one of the leagues most dependable targets. McLaurins 2024 season was shortened by a quadriceps injury, limiting him to 10 games and ending a five-year run of 1,000-yard campaigns, so the rsum took a clear step back even before the rankings were released.
For Dallas, the wider receiver picture carries its own wrinkle. George Pickens is now set to play this season under the franchise tag after the Cowboys missed the deadline to work out a long-term deal, and for now there is no holdout drama attached to it. Still, it leaves another high-profile pass catcher in the division on a short-term arrangement, which is the sort of detail that tends to linger once training camp and the real games begin.
