Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is showing noticeable improvement at training camp, according to a local radio host who watched practice Tuesday.
Tony Rizzo of ESPN Cleveland said Sanders is advancing in key areas after spending time at the team’s facility.
“I think Shedeur is making some strides, I do,” Rizzo stated on his show.
The comments came in a video clip posted by ESPN Cleveland, highlighting the second-year player’s development. A graphic accompanying the segment declared “Shedeur getting better every day.”
Sanders entered camp in a competition with Deshaun Watson for the starting job under new coach Todd Monken. The former Colorado star has emphasized daily progress and avoiding distractions. He has worked extensively on footwork, processing speed and decision-making this offseason.
Team officials previously praised his growth from a seven-start rookie campaign last year.
Sanders has taken snaps with various units, including first-team periods in recent sessions. Fans and media have tracked his consistency in team drills, where he has connected on intermediate and deep throws.
Rizzo’s observation adds to a growing narrative of incremental gains for the fifth-round pick.
The quarterback has repeatedly stressed focusing only on what helps the team win. He has downplayed external noise about the depth chart battle.
Watson, returning from injury recovery, has also logged significant first-team work. Monken has kept the competition open as padded practices continue and the preseason approaches.
Offensive coordinator Travis Switzer noted earlier that Sanders’ feet appear more urgent and his progressions sharper. Sanders spent extra time studying the playbook and building chemistry with receivers during the spring.
His father, Deion Sanders, visited practice last week but did not disrupt the younger Sanders’ concentration. Shedeur said outside factors matter little once he steps between the lines.
Rizzo also voiced concerns about the offensive line’s early look in camp, separate from the quarterback discussion.
The Browns continue practices this week with an eye toward evaluating all position groups. Sanders remains locked in on refining details that could elevate his performance in live situations.
Observers expect clearer separation in the quarterback room once preseason games begin. For now, the positive feedback from Rizzo underscores steady movement in Sanders’ second NFL training camp.
The update circulated widely among Browns followers online Tuesday afternoon. Sanders has maintained that every rep builds trust and comfort within the offense. He aims to be ready whenever opportunity arrives, treating each practice as preparation for game day.
