The “Summer of Shedeur Sanders” has yet to commence, but the 24/7 news cycle around the rookie signal-caller is just a taste of what the coverage might look like in a few weeks.
The Colorado Buffaloes football product is currently the eye of the NFL media storm, with questions about his stunning draft day slide transitioning to theories about his chances to climb to the top spot on the QB depth chart.
He’s primarily practiced with the last unit and hasn’t even put on a pair of pads, but from the brief, albeit meaningless sample, Shedeur has at least looked the part of a pro quarterback.
But how have those alleged character concerns factored into his stint in Cleveland?
One premier football analyst gave a strong assessment in favor of the opposing narrative.
While joining “The Pat McAfee Show,” ESPN’s Peter Schrager shared the latest on what he’s hearing Shedeur is like behind closed doors.
And it’s mostly good things.
“I’ve heard he’s been outstanding in the building,” Schrager said. “The predraft process was so unorthodox that he didn’t go through it like everyone else. I think there’s a lot to look back on this thing, especially if he becomes a star in this league—you can point fingers in a million ways—not having a pure agent, not having the workouts everyone else did, not being as willing to throw the ball, but at no point did anyone say he was a bad kid.”
Shedeur is making a positive impression within the Browns’ locker room, which bodes well for his chance to get the keys to the offense at some point in the upcoming campaign.
If he can keep his head down and continue to be a model citizen, he’ll be a lock to make the roster and will be one step closer to getting his chance.
