Overview
- NFL.com confirmed Tuesday that Sanders was added to the Pro Bowl Games roster as Drake Maye’s replacement.
- With Maye in the Super Bowl and several AFC quarterbacks injured or declining, the league turned to Sanders as an alternate, prompting online criticism of the selection’s merit.
- Sanders’ rookie year included eight appearances and seven starts for 1,400 yards with seven touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 56.6% completion rate, going 3–4 as a starter.
- He is the first Browns quarterback named to the Pro Bowl since Derek Anderson in 2008 and the first fifth-round rookie selected since Puka Nacua.
- Browns GM Andrew Berry said the team will evaluate the quarterback market for 2026 rather than commit to Sanders as the starter.
