Deshaun Watson Leads Quarterback Competition for Cleveland Browns
Recent reports indicate that Deshaun Watson has taken the lead in the competition for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback position over Shedeur Sanders. NFL insider Mike Garafolo noted on ESPN that Watson has been favored to start since February, with indications from the coaching staff supporting this claim.
Watson's advantage became more apparent as training camp progressed, particularly after he received first-team reps during practice, which is a departure from the alternating schedule previously established. Observers suggest that this shift could signal Watson's impending role as the starting quarterback.
The Browns are set to begin their preseason against the Chicago Bears on August 15, with expectations that Watson will start. Meanwhile, Sanders may take the lead in the following preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on August 22. The decision on the Week 1 starter remains pending from head coach Todd Monken.
