Shedeur Sanders’ biggest fan is clearly his mom.As Pilar Sanders, his mother, took to Instagram to first celebrate her son’s promotion to QB2 after Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals, before making it clear he should already be on the field.Shedeur Sanders has patiently climbed up the QB depth chart with just Dillon Gabriel ahead of him nowGETTYSanders is a step closer to becoming a starting NFL quarterback after Flacco’s departure from the Browns.As it means only Dillon Gabriel, the current QB1 at the Browns, is ahead of him.Sanders began the season as the third-choice quarterback and has yet to get any minutes so far this season..Sanders’ mom is confident that Sheduer will start soonNevertheless, becoming the backup quarterback is progress, and it’s why Sanders’ mom, Pilar, was in a great mood on Friday night.This was demonstrated when, in a video she uploaded to her Instagram of her cooking, she was asked if it was a celebratory meal.“Are you cooking all that for Shedeur being named QB2?” the comment read.She responded with, “For Shedeur’s yes – we know 2 has always been 1 – the matrix will try to make u believe anything hahahahah – never fall for tall tales.”Pilar had left her followers with that and did not clarify exactly what she meant.But it’s clear she believes that her son will soon displace the starting quarterback, Gabriel, in due course.It’s not just Pilar who was in a great mood, as Sanders also told reporters he feels good after head coach Kevin Stefanksi confirmed his place on the depth chart.Shedeur Sanders’ mom took to Instagram to celebrate her son’s promotion, but also fired a warning@pilarsandersShedeur Sanders has been promoted to QB2, but the rookie has been clear that is not good enough for himGetty“I’m in a great mental space overall,” Sanders, who was subject to that spectacular draft slide back in April, said.“‘I would say you tend to get a little bit more excited when you see a light at the end of the tunnel, for sure. … Whatever my role is here, I’m thankful. I’m happy just to do that.”Insider claims Browns’ owner forced Shedeur decision onto StefanskiHowever, it’s not clear whether Sanders’ promotion was a decision wholly made by Stefanski. Browns insider and ESPN radio host Tony Grossi reported on Saturday that Sanders’ bump up the depth chart was a joint effort by general manager Andrew Berry and owner Jimmy Haslam.Grossi claimed that Flacco was moved on, to force Stefnaksi to name Sanders as his backup quarterback, something the front office has wanted for a while.“AB and the owner. I think that’s why it’s like it was traded to make this possible. Now, I don’t, I won’t say Kevin doesn’t like Shedeur. I don’t think Kevin believes Shedeur is ready even for the number two role,” Grossi, who recently spoke to talkSPORT about Sanders’ situation, said on-air. Much has been made of Kevin Stefanski’s decision-making with his quarterbacks this season amid a turbulent start to the seasonGETTY“Okay, it’s not that he doesn’t like him.”He’s a coach, and he sees everything through a quarterback lens, and he just doesn’t believe he’s ready. “So for that reason, I don’t think it was his decision, but he goes with the flow, and this is the reason Flacco was traded to make this possible, and that was inevitable that Shedeur would be moved up to number two.“He’s a coach, and he sees everything through a quarterback lens, and he just doesn’t believe he’s ready. So for that reason, I don’t think it was his decision, but he goes with the flow, and this is the reason Flacco was traded to make this possible, and that was inevitable that Shedeur would be moved up to number two.”Stefanksi is under pressure at the Browns after his 1-4 start to the season, and the drama unfolding at quarterback hasn’t helped his situation, with some fans disapproving of his treatment of Sanders.Nevertheless, it’s unlikely the head coach will be forced out anytime soon.His attention will be on the next game, which is against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have enjoyed a strong start to the season with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more
