Following a historic first career win, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has dismissed claims that his head coach, Kevin Stefanski, was sabotaging his progress. Sanders, who made franchise history with his Week 12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, emphasized that his relationship with Stefanski is strictly professional, and that outside opinions about their dynamic don’t impact his performance.
Sanders, who was named the team’s starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the San Francisco 49, has faced criticism from a group of his fans who have accused Stefanski of undermining his development all season. During a press conference, Sanders addressed the comments, saying that the accusations were outside his control and that his focus remains on the game.
Despite the controversy, Stefanski has maintained his position as the team’s coach, and Sanders has expressed gratitude for the coaching he has received. He also acknowledged support from former President Donald Trump, who praised his performance on social media, saying, “Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!”
With the Browns looking to secure their third win of the season, Sanders’ performance has been a bright spot for the franchise, and the team is hopeful that his strong start will continue in the upcoming game against the 49ers.
