Shedeur Sanders just delivered the kind of performance that makes you sit up and say, *“Okay, this kid’s got something.” * On Sunday against the Titans, the Browns' rookie quarterback turned in a historic outing-350-plus passing yards, three touchdowns through the air, and one on the ground.
That stat line? Only one other rookie in NFL history has ever pulled it off.
And now, Sanders has more than just a highlight reel-he’s got the keys to Cleveland’s offense for the rest of the season.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski made it official on Monday morning: Sanders is the Browns’ starting quarterback moving forward. And it’s not just about the numbers-it’s about the growth.
“He’s constantly and consistently gotten better in each one of these games,” Stefanski said. “He’s very intentional about getting better every time he’s out there.”
That steady improvement has been the story of Sanders’ young NFL career so far. The 23-year-old has appeared in four games this season, starting three.

His completion percentage sits at 52.4%, with 769 passing yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions. Add in a rushing score and a passer rating of 80.9, and you’ve got a rookie who’s showing flashes of real potential-even if the stat sheet still has room to grow.
But Sunday’s breakout wasn’t just about numbers-it was about command. Sanders looked comfortable, confident, and in control.
He made smart reads, extended plays with his legs, and delivered some big-time throws. And yes, the wrist watch celebration made its return-on both sidelines, no less.
Now comes the next challenge. Cleveland heads to Soldier Field next weekend to face a 9-4 Bears team with one of the league’s stingiest defenses.
It’s a tough test for any quarterback, let alone a fifth-round rookie still finding his footing. But with Sanders now locked in as the starter, the Browns are betting on his continued development-and his ability to rise to the moment.
There’s still a long way to go, but if Sunday was any indication, Shedeur Sanders isn’t just learning the NFL game-he’s starting to leave his mark on it.
