Shedeur Sanders Wants to Show Browns That He's Who They've 'Been Lookin' For'

Shedeur Sanders is ready to show out.

The Cleveland Browns quarterback is making his first start on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders and said he wants to prove to the organization that he's their quarterback of the future:

And early on, he showed what he can do:

He's replacing Dillon Gabriel, who remains in the concussion protocol.

Sanders' NFL debut came during the second half of Sunday's 23-16 loss against the Baltimore Ravens in relief of Gabriel, and it didn't go to plan. He completed just 4-of-16 passes for 47 yards and an interception while also fumbling (it was recovered by Cleveland) and taking two sacks.

The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of April's NFL draft, two rounds behind Gabriel. To this point, the Browns chose to roll with Joe Flacco (before trading him) and Gabriel as the starting options, making Sanders the most talked-about backup in football.

Now he has the chance to prove whether he has the chops to be a starter.
