According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, suffered an oblique injury during Wednesday’s joint practice versus the Eagles.
Sanders, however, continued to play on the field despite that. With Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts in the driver’s seat, he drove a golf cart around the Novacare Complex.
“Yes,” Hurts answered, “I keep the conversation private.” We talked for a very long time. He merely wanted to talk when he came to me. As I mentioned before, I’m always available to provide my viewpoint on what I observe and how I’ve approached situations.
In the end, it requires a lot of perseverance, patience, and hard effort. It must be something you desire. I am therefore standing by him from my position and wishing him luck in all of his endeavors.
Unless Sanders provides the specifics of the conversation, we might never know what was said.
However, it is understandable why Sanders admires Hurts.
Hurts is the only quarterback in the NFL who can empathize with Sanders’ feelings of being questioned and dismissed over the past three months.
Hurts’ football career has been questioned and closely watched.
It all started when he was benched during Tua Tagovailoa’s 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship game. It’s still there even after Hurts won MVP of the Super Bowl. Because of what transpired at Alabama and the fact that he was selected in the second round, some people hold him in low regard.
Sanders is being criticized more harshly.
Sanders’ surprise drop to the fifth round was caused by the disapproval of his handling of the selection process. Although that road has gotten more challenging, he was previously thought to be a future NFL starter. He was ranked fourth on the Browns’ quarterback depth chart.
Sanders might feel more confident that he could surpass expectations after learning that Hurts did.
Sanders and other aspiring quarterbacks may find inspiration in Hurts’ narrative, and they may turn to him for support when things get rough.
