The Browns ended their preseason with a narrow 19-17 win over the Rams , but the spotlight wasn’t on the victory. Instead, all eyes turned to rookie QB Shedeur Sanders . Many fans accused HC Kevin Stefanski of deliberately holding him back. The conspiracy theory? Stefanski benched Shedeur late in the game to bring in veteran Tyler Huntley , robbing the rookie of a chance to shine. But was that really the case? Football analyst Jason Whitlock didn’t think so.
On the latest episode of his show “Fearless” , Jason Whitlock cut straight to the point. “Shedeur Sanders was awful… He ended up getting benched because he was so awful. But because of this rigged matrix and because Shedeur is the clickbait king, not many people are talking about it,” he said.
