It was a nice comment from Higgins' mom, especially given the fact that the Bengals and Browns are AFC North rivals.

Shedeur Sanders isn't worried about the Browns' QB situation

Shedeur Sanders is looking to not only win a roster spot but also compete for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback job.

Sanders is competing with the likes of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel for the starting job. Heading into the preseason opener, Sanders says he isn't worrying about the quarterback situation.

“That’s not my place to answer,” Sanders said, via Heavy. “I feel like it’s not in my control, so I’m not even gonna think about that or have that even in my thought process. There’s a lot of people that wanna have the opportunity to be at this level, and I’m here, and I’m thankful to have the opportunity, so, whatever that is it is.”

“It doesn’t really faze me. You gotta understand, we came all the way from an HBCU to a Power 5 [conference team], and now we here, so,” he continued. “At this point, you look around, there’s nothing that’s a challenge, I would say.”

If Sanders has success in the first preseason game, he will likely continue to get reps in preseason as he looks to win a roster spot and compete for the Browns' starting QB job.

Cleveland is set to play the Carolina Panthers on August 8 in their first preseason game. The Browns open their 2025 NFL season on Sept. 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
