The Shedeur Sanders era of Cleveland Browns football will begin in preseason Week 1. The Browns have officially announced that Sanders will get his time to shine, as he will be under center when the Browns take on the Carolina Panthers on Friday, Aug. 8.

Tyler Huntley, whom the Browns signed on Tuesday, will come off the bench for the Browns during the preseason matchup, which will give Sanders his first chance to throw to receivers Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Diontae Johnson and David Njoku.

And fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders was listed fourth.  On the surface, this looks like doom and gloom for Sanders, who was projected to be selected in the first few rounds of the draft but instead fell deep into Day 3 and was the second quarterback drafted by his own team.
