Shedeur Sanders Voices Frustration Over Browns Head Coach's Decision to Bench Him

On Saturday night, amidst the Cleveland Browns’ sidelines, Shedeur Sanders exhibited visible frustration, providing insight into his feelings. Tyler Huntley orchestrated a successful drive that clinched a victory in the preseason game, despite the Browns ultimately winning 19–17. Following this performance, however, Huntley was released from the Browns’ roster. Conversely, Sanders’ initial showing before the Cleveland fans fell short of expectations. Struggling to integrate into the Browns’ offensive scheme, he was sacked five times. Nonetheless, Sanders revealed his eagerness to guide the Browns during the crucial moments, making his intentions known to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Ultimately, Stefanski opted for Huntley, who delivered a commendable performance. Reflecting on the situation, Sanders stated, “In the heat of the battle, you want to be that alpha,” expressing his frustration over being sidelined. As he prepared for the potential game-winning drive, Sanders was shocked to learn he’d be kept out. He remarked, “I didn’t know I was out…that’s just a situation every quarterback dreams for.”
