Browns' Shedeur Sanders takes jab at current NFL starters: 'I'm capable of doing better'

Cleveland Browns legend Joe Thomas is giving the ‘Shedeur Sanders cult’ a reality check in his appearance on OutKick's 'Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich.'

Shedeur Sanders remains third on the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback depth chart, but he says he is ready to go whenever his number is called.

After watching quarterback play across the NFL over three weeks, Sanders said he is confident he could perform better than some current starters.

"I know if you see the quarterback play in the league right now, I know I’m capable of doing better than that," Sanders told ESPN Cleveland.

Sanders sits behind veteran Joe Flacco and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was drafted two rounds earlier in April. But Sanders said he has been preparing as if he could be called upon at any moment.

"I don’t think playing or not playing is in my hands. I think, based on the situation, if things pan out where I play, then I’ll be out there ready to play. I’m ready to play right now," he said.

"I focus each and every day on what I gotta do, and just because of where I am on the depth, I don’t let that dictate my mindset each and every day. You don’t know what can happen or could happen. So, it’s really just keeping the mindset of staying locked in and staying into everything. Remaining focused on the same thing."
