Myles Garrett Stands Up for Shedeur Sanders After Browns HC Ended Rookie QB’s First Team Hopes

Wait 5 sec.

When Shedeur Sanders finally heard his name at pick 144, there wasn’t some dramatic meltdown—just a quiet fire. Rookie minicamp rolled in, and the kid showed up like he had something to prove. He dropped dimes in 7-on-7s, finishing 10-of-12 with two touchdowns. Then came the 30-yard laser that had the sideline buzzing. In a room full of rookies, he didn’t just belong—he owned the moment without saying a word.Fast-forward to OTAs and minicamp, and Sanders kept that same energy. He went 41-for-53—77.4% completion, nine touchdowns, just one pick. That’s not normal for a rookie fresh off a draft-day slide. Joe Flacco noticed. Coach Kevin Stefanski noticed. Even the trainers started sticking around longer. It wasn’t just clean footwork or polished throws—it was composure, like he’d already seen all this in his head. Fifth round or not, he walked in like it’s his huddle.And now? Well, after the veteran Flacco and the HC Stefanski, the highest-paid non-QB, Myles Garrett, noticed Shedeur’s determination after the minicamp wrapped up. Recently, Garrett was asked about Shedeur Sanders being drafted in the 5th round and what he’s seen from him so far. His response? “I think everyone’s surprised to see him go to the fifth round, but he’s come to camp and OTA should have made an attitude,” Garrett said. “He’s a power working guy, he could have hit on his shoulders. He’s always positive, always optimistic, always gets small on his face. You like going to work with people who have that kind of attitude.” A great start coming for rookie Shedeur? At this point, we can say that. After all, he’s getting nods from everyone in the Browns’ building.Myles Garrett reacts to Shedeur Sanders being drafted in the 5th round and what he’s seen from him so far.“You like going to work with people who have that [good] attitude.” pic.twitter.com/ATbZ2mNT8T— Abby Jones (@_abigaiiiil) June 15, 2025The post Myles Garrett Stands Up for Shedeur Sanders After Browns HC Ended Rookie QB’s First Team Hopes appeared first on EssentiallySports.
