Former ESPN star Robert Griffin III slams Cleveland Browns over handling of Shedeur Sanders


ROBERT GRIFFIN III has criticised the Cleveland Browns over their handling of Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders, 23, was tipped to be one of the first picks in the Draft but was shockingly not selected until the fifth round.

He is currently locked in a four-man tussle for the quarterback starting spot at the Browns.

Veteran Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel are his competition.

Reports have emerged that Sanders is ranked No.4 on the depth chart and could fall off the roster.

And that is despite ESPN claiming he has thrown six touchdowns and zero interceptions across nine practice sessions – though he sat out one through injury.

RGIII took to social media to slam the Browns over their use of Sanders.

He wrote: “Shedeur Sanders is being set up to fail in Cleveland.

“But God’s got him showing out even with limited reps.”

In comparison to Sanders’ stats – Flacco has three touchdowns and zero interceptions, while Gabriel has four and two.

Pickett landed three touchdowns and one interception, but he has missed team drills due to a hamstring issue.

The Browns face the Carolina Panthers in the first preseason contest of the campaign.


Flacco, Pickett and Gabriel are sitting out the match.

Therefore, Sanders is set to start the game in what will be a huge chance to prove himself to Kevin Stefanski.

Amid the injury problems in the quarterback room, the Browns signed Tyler Huntley as a fifth option.

But supposedly being listed as No.4 is not impacting Sanders.

He said: “How do I block out the noise? I’ve always faced adversity since growing up.

“Each level, it’s always been something.

“When you figure out how people come at you… life is a cycle, it keeps repeating over, over and over, then you understand what game this is or what they’re doing.

“I can never feel less than. Nobody can ever make me mentally get out of position in the situation I’m in. 

“I’m thankful for who I am, I’m thankful for who my Dad is, I’m thankful for my family.

“No one can make me feel bad about the blessings I do have.”
