Embarrassing Shedeur Sanders details emerge from…
Shedeur Sanders reportedly is selecting up clipboards instead of soccer during Browns practices.
ESPN Cleveland’s Tony Rizzo said on his show Thursday he’s heard that the polarizing third-stringer quarterback will not be even conducting the scout-team reps for the group.
“I’m hearing Shedeur isn not even running scout team, he’s literally watching everyone,” Rizzo said. “Bailey Zappe’s working scout group. I don’t know if that’s true, that’s what I’m listening to.
“Why’s he on the team? Why is he even here? If that’s what you think of him. Because his jersey is selling? The Haslems (Browns owners) don’t need jersey money, do they? Then why is he on the team, if he’s not even running scout team?”
Sanders is the most-discussed third-string quarterback in the league, with maybe former Giants backup Tommy DeVito only in the dialogue.
A 3rd-string quarterback isn’t often going to get observe reps since those will go to the starter and the backup — in this case No. 1 veteran Joe Flacco and No. 2 rookie Dillon Gabriel — leaving the group’s No. 3 as the potential option for scout-team reps.

Rizzo’s report states that the Browns are instead turning to Zappe, a fourth-year veteran, reasonably than let Sanders emulate the upcoming week’s opposing quarterback.
The Browns confronted Joe Burrow, a more conventional pocket passer in Week 1, while they’re prepping for dual-threat signal caller Lamar Jackson this Sunday.

While there may very well be particular causes why the Browns reportedly like Zappe to run the scout group, it does raise questions about Sanders’ outlook.
He had an up-and-down preseason, including a buzzworhy debut. The group didn’t alter its depth chart, preserving Gabriel, a third-rounder, forward of Sanders, a fifth-rounder.
As Rizzo famous, a lack of taking part in time hasn’t calmed the Sanders hype.
He had the fifth-best promoting jersey from March 1 through July 31, per the NFLPA.
Sanders ranked first among rookies, forward of Colorado teammate Travis Hunter, and trailed only Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels and Josh Allen.
