BEREA, Ohio — Shedeur Sanders is still learning to decipher NFL defenses, recognize coverages and make much smarter decisions.
He can already read the room, though.
The rookie quarterback’s path to starting for the Cleveland Browns has been curious and circuitous, to say the least. But just because he’s currently atop the depth chart -— and will stay there the rest of this season, barring injury or a major change of plans — Sanders isn’t stationary or satisfied.
Sanders is coming off his best performance as a pro, which led to coach Kevin Stefanski naming him the starter for the final four games, starting with Sunday’s matchup with the host Chicago Bears (9-4). Sanders said before Wednesday’s practice that he’s not concerned with whether he has shown Cleveland enough to end its long search for a franchise quarterback.
He’s staying in the moment.
