WWE star and dedicated Cleveland Browns fan The Miz is optimistic about the potential of newly drafted quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Miz, whose professional name is Mike Mizanin, believes that Sanders has a unique opportunity to thrive with the Browns, who are looking to build a strong foundation for the future.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Miz highlighted that the Browns have a strong coaching environment under Kevin Stefanski and are blessed with a veteran quarterback in Joe Flacco. Miz emphasized that being around such seasoned players can make a significant difference for a young quarterback like Sanders, stating, ”I think he can’t help being himself, and think he’s a born leader.”
However, the Browns’ quarterback room is expected to be highly competitive. With the addition of Sanders, the team now has three quarterbacks to choose from: Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Kenny Pickett. Flacco, who stepped into the role for an injured Deshaun Watson in 2023, has already shown his ability to lead the team to a playoff season. But the uncertainty surrounding Watson’s return due to his ACL injuries presents a challenge for the team’s future quarterback strategy.
While the Browns have a deep roster, the quarterback competition will be a major factor in their success in 2025. Miz believes that as long as Sanders can maintain his focus and grow as a player, he has the potential to be a franchise quarterback. The team will have to make a tough decision on the quarterback position, which could significantly impact their overall performance and direction in the years to come.
