Shedeur Sanders Faces Panthers Blitz in Browns Preseason Opener

News summary

Shedeur Sanders will make his NFL debut as the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback in their preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers, stepping in due to injuries to other quarterbacks. The Panthers plan to blitz Sanders frequently, aiming to exploit his known weakness of retreating under pressure, a challenge given his less mobile playing style and his past struggles with pass protection in college. However, Sanders showed decent statistics against the blitz in his final college season, completing 68% of such passes with a high quarterback rating, and has received positive reviews during Browns training camp. The Panthers boast a strong offensive line, considered their greatest strength, which will test Sanders further, while their defense, weakened by injuries last season, is undergoing rebuilding efforts. Sanders will face additional challenges with the Browns likely missing their starting receivers, making this a significant moment for the rookie to prove his readiness for an NFL starting role. Support from former NFL players and coaches underscores the high expectations and pressure surrounding Sanders as he seeks to seize this critical opportunity.
