Although Flacco is planned that Flacco will get the first crack to win the post, Sanders will have a chance to compete with his new teammates to potentially win the starting role.
A quarter-Arrière competition is something that Sam Darnold, the new quarter of the Seattle Seahawks, lived in his career. He had a little advice for young Sanders, who have his first taste for a training camp battle.
“I think the most important thing is to have respect,” Darnold told PK Press Club Digital, while discussing his time with the Lowes Foundation in Skillsus National Signing Day in Seattle. “Have respect for the teammates with whom you are in competition.”

Although it is a competition, it is important to remember that they are also teammates who run the same goal: to win a super bowl.
After his missed passage with the New York jets, who took him third in the general classification of the 2018 NFL draft, Darnold rebounded around several teams and had to make his way in the position he was with the Vikings of Minnesota last season. Even there, Darnold fought to win the role of leaving quarterrier, and he won his place to choose his next free agency team.
Darnold specifically looked back in his time with the Carolina Panthers, where the player who made two choices before him in this 2018 draft, Baker Mayfield, was his main competition in 2022.

“I was in a quarter competition in my second year in Caroline with Baker. I and Baker are still very close to this day, and we both had real respect for each other,” said Darnold. “Sometimes it was not quite clear that obtained rehearsals or the 2 representatives of 2 that day. But when our number was called, whether me or that cooking went with the 1, it was like” very well, go there. “”
“Then in individual exercises that day [McCaffrey] On a route or DJ Moore on a route. It was always this respect. Then, if he had returned, if Bake took the representatives of the 1, I would let him take all the guys with whom he was going to run that day.
“I think that if it is SheDer or someone else, I think I just have respect for these guys in the quarter room and help everyone to improve. It is the greatest thing at this stage of the season, helping everyone to improve. When you do this, you improve yourself, more than you know.”
For the moment, there is a good chance that Sanders will not be the one under the center of week 1 to start the Browns 2025 campaign. The way he manages the wait in the wings for his time to shine will also be under the national projectors.

If this moment comes, Darnold wants Sanders first to think of the team.
“When Bake got the head sign for week 1, I said to myself:” I’m here for you. Everything you need, if you want me to look at a band of some third looks or any Blitz package that the defense could have, I’m here for you, “said Darnold. “This is this kind of meaning in the quarter room, and nothing simulates this in the real world.”
Celebrate the next generation of trade workers
While Darnold obtains his bearings in his new city, he made sure to stop at the Seattle store ceremony in Lowe for the National Day of Skillsusa, which is a celebration reflecting the excitement of sports signatures but for future electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians and manufacturers.
Lowe deployed the blue carpet and everything for students, who were surprised by the new Seattle football star, and this initiative is the one who strikes the house for Darnold. His father, Mike, has been a plumber for over 30 years.

“It was incredible,” said Darnold about the experience. “I saw the hard work he put in all his life. So, just being able to see these children and see the hard work they have already put, meet and tell them about the path they run, and how passionate they are.
“I think there are so many more opportunities in the world of skills trades, and my father and I talked about it, how there are no more children. It is a special opportunity for children to have an impact on their communities in a way that they probably don’t even know.”
New ADP data shows nearly one of five 20-24-year-old workers occupied jobs in blue colors in May 2023. Although this has increased by 2% since 2019, the United States has been facing a shortage of 439,000 construction workers.
