Deion Sanders Visits Browns Camp as Shedeur Battles Deshaun Watson for Starting QB
Todd Monken called Deion’s presence constructive and the Browns plan to name a starter after padded practices and preseason games
Overview
- Deion Sanders attended Cleveland Browns training camp in Berea on July 30 and spent several minutes after practice coaching his son Shedeur and offering occasional pointers to receivers.
- Shedeur Sanders is alternating between first- and second-team reps with veteran Deshaun Watson as the Browns evaluate both quarterbacks over the next padded practices and preseason games.
- Todd Monken publicly praised Deion’s visit, calling it “awesome” and saying Deion did an “unbelievable job” with Shedeur, which team officials say reduced concerns about a distraction.
- Deion’s recent media appearances included reflections on his upbringing, telling interviewers he never wanted to sell drugs and that he has long dealt with hate and ignorance, remarks that surfaced while he visited camp.
- Shedeur says he is focused on consistency, living in the present, and his routine as he seeks to build on a rookie season that included turnover issues, late starts and a late Pro Bowl nod.
