Shedeur Sanders has waited, been buried on a depth chart, and bumbled in his first game action.

Despite all of that, the Cleveland Browns will give the famed and beleaguered rookie quarterback his first career start on Sunday in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sanders, the son of former Hall of Fame defensive back Deion Sanders, believes the Browns won’t regret it and that he showed flashes of what he can do at his best.
