Ex-NFL Coach Rex Ryan Criticizes Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' Comments as Embarrassing

Shedeur Sanders, the Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback, has faced significant criticism after publicly claiming he could outperform many current NFL starters despite being third on his team's depth chart and having no regular-season game experience. Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan strongly rebuked Sanders for his outspoken comments, calling him an "embarrassment" and emphasizing the need for Sanders to focus on studying and preparation rather than boasting. Sanders' remarks came amid the Browns' disappointing 1-3 start to the season and poor quarterback play from Joe Flacco, which has led to speculation about a potential change at the position. Despite his confidence, Sanders has yet to secure a starting role, with Dillon Gabriel ahead of him on the depth chart. Critics, including former NFL quarterback Alex Smith and Browns beat reporter Tony Grossi, also expressed skepticism about Sanders' attitude and readiness. The situation highlights a tension between Sanders' potential and his current standing, with many urging him to prove himself on the field before making bold claims.
