The Shedeur Sanders era of Cleveland Browns football will begin in preseason Week 1. The Browns have officially announced that Sanders will get his time to shine, as he will be under center when the Browns take on the Carolina Panthers on Friday, Aug. 8.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- Maybe Shedeur Sanders will invited his dad, Deion Sanders, to the Browns preseason opener here Friday night, because now Coach Prime will have plenty to see. Sanders, the Browns fourth-team quarterback who has yet to take a snap with the first-team offense, is expected to start the game, a league source tells cleveland.com.

And fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders was listed fourth.  On the surface, this looks like doom and gloom for Sanders, who was projected to be selected in the first few rounds of the draft but instead fell deep into Day 3 and was the second quarterback drafted by his own team.
