Fans: Shedeur Sanders’ mentor choice is “the most Browns thing ever”
NFL fans are voicing concern after reports surfaced that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is being mentored by a controversial veteran.
The Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been controversial since before the draft. Criticized for his arrogance and immaturity, questions about his professionalism caused him to slide all the way to the fifth round of the draft after being a projected first-round pick initially.
Now that he’s training with the Browns for the 2025 NFL season, the drama continues. As he competes for a spot in the Browns’ crowded quarterback room, he’s been praised for his work ethic on the field. But off-field concerns - including two speeding incidents - have already raised eyebrows. And fans are now questioning the Browns’ choice in mentor for Sanders.
Deshaun Watson guiding Sanders? Browns fans aren’t happy
Reports came out recently that say Sanders is being mentored by controversial veteran Deshaun Watson, who is “taking Sanders under his wing”. Watson is out for the 2025 season with an Achilles injury and from 2021-22, he was accused by 24 different women of sexual misconduct.
Fans are questioning whether Watson is the right person to guide the young quarterback, and they’re not holding back.

“What could possibly go wrong?” one fan quipped.
“Yes, because he is the ideal role model,” another said sarcastically.
“According to Sanders, Watson has taught him 24 things that every quarterback in the NFL should know. Google ‘Watson 24′ to learn more!” another fan added.
“This is the most Cleveland Browns thing of all time,” said another.
The Browns quarterback room also consists of veterans Kenny Pickett and Joe Flacco as well as fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. Rookies will report to training camp on July 28 with the rest of the team joining them on July 22.
