Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders are all battling for positioning in what promises to be one of the more intriguing quarterback races heading into the season.
Sanders has drawn attention not just for his arm talent, but for his mature approach to earning his place in the rotation.
When questioned about his early snap distribution, the fifth-round pick offered insight into his professional mindset.
“My goal is to be the best teammate and be as posh as I can be in every aspect. I got time to be able to grow and mature and be able to understand the ins and outs of the defense and get some insights from the vets in the room. I look at it as a blessing,” Sanders said.

Rather than viewing limited opportunities as setbacks, Sanders has embraced the learning curve that comes with rookie development.
He acknowledges the mistakes surfacing during practice sessions and remains focused on correcting fundamental issues.
His primary areas of concentration involve refining dropback mechanics and accelerating his defensive processing speed.
Sanders refuses to let depth chart positioning dictate his preparation level. He maintains readiness both physically and mentally, understanding that opportunity often arrives without warning in professional football.
The rookie recognizes that when game situations present themselves, previous practice repetitions become irrelevant. Execution and production determine success.
The path to meaningful playing time presents significant challenges for Sanders.
Competing against veterans like Flacco and established quarterbacks such as Pickett creates steep odds for immediate impact.
However, his approach suggests the mental foundation necessary for long-term development remains solidly in place as Cleveland evaluates its quarterback future.
