Shedeur Sanders will receive the second start of his NFL career later this week when the Cleveland Browns face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.
Sanders helped the Browns to a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Although he didn’t dazzle in his first start, Sanders did enough to take the win and threw his first touchdown pass in the process.

Trent Green, a Super Bowl champion and two-time Pro Bowler in his NFL career, praised Sanders’ efforts against the Raiders after he only completed four completions when replacing an injured Dillon Gabriel in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.
“The fact that he was able to bounce back from that performance he had last week where he went 4-for-16, it was a bad game,” Green told Pak Gazette Digital. “But you don’t get a lot of reps. You’re a young quarterback, you get thrown into a situation like that. I love the way he responded.
“You have to have mental toughness to be able to do that. You’re in a tough environment. You’re trying to get a win. There’s a lot of pressure that comes from the name on the back of your jersey, and the fact that there’s so much attention around him as a player, he was able to handle all of that and get the win. I’m looking forward to talking to him this week, studying more tape on him and learning more about him. And he’s got a San Francisco team that’s getting there.”

“Are there things he can do better? Absolutely. We’ve already talked about that with him. He has the mindset that he’s going to make adjustments to the speed of the game, he’s going to make adjustments to what people are giving us, to make those improvements.”
