Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders doesn't focus on the future since he can't control it.
Cleveland Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders is taking things one day at a time.
So instead of focusing on his future with the Browns, Sanders is only thinking about his next opponent, the Chicago Bears.
"That's a long deep thought," Sanders said. "That's not in my focus. My focus right now is the team I'm playing ahead, the Bears. Anything past that, I'm not really focused on, honestly. I'm thankful for it, but I'm not content with my situation with everything, with leading this team."
The Browns have a pair of first-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. Many people around the league believe the franchise will target a QB.
Sanders, though, doesn't pay attention to those rumors.
"I just go here, enjoy my day, work hard, do everything I can, and if I'm here, I'm here," Sanders said. "If I'm not, I'm not. It's nothing in my control. So I try to control what I can control, going out there, making the right reads, going out there, doing the right things, being the person I am and things will fall how they're supposed to."
Sanders had his best game as a pro against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. He went 23-42 through the air for 364 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
The Colorado product also had 29 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
Sanders is the first Browns QB with three passing touchdowns and a rushing TD in a game since Derek Anderson in Week 6 of the 2007 season.
The Browns have four games left in the regular season. They face the Bears, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals.
Sanders has 769 passing yards, five passing touchdowns and three interceptions on the season. He's completing 52.4% of his passes.
"He has constantly and consistently gotten better in each one of these games and how he's approached this game," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said about Sanders. "He's been working very hard, so I feel good about where his development is heading. He knows there are always going to be plays that he can be better and those type of things. But he's very intentional about getting better each and every game he's out there."
