The Recruit Sheder Sanders quarterrier is currently in the quarter-Arrière purgatory with the Browns of Cleveland. But one of the best agents in the NFL quarterrier believes that there is still hope for his career as a holder.
The teammate of Sanders and colleague Quart-Arrière Recrue, Dillon Gabriel, was appointed quarter-arre starting from the Browns, the team having exchanged the veteran Joe Flacco to the Bengals of Cincinnati on Tuesday.
Sanders, now a second player in the team behind Gabriel, drew media attention last week when asked if Gabriel had been appointed leaving. Sanders replied by pronouncing words silently without speaking, like a mime.

Agent Leigh Steinberg, who has represented a record number of eight 1 choices in the draft, suggested that he thought that Sanders’ response was the product of competitive frustration.
“I thought the answer suited him,” Steinberg told PK Press Club Digital. “It is not realistic to expect the players to be enthusiastic and delighted by a replacement situation.”
Nevertheless, Steinberg would have hoped that Sanders would give a more substantial response if the recruit was his client.
“I think that in reality, the answer would be in two parts. First, ‘obviously, I can’t wait to hold in this league, and I think it’s my destiny, but in the meantime, I will do everything I can to support Dillon Gabriel.’ I think that’s the answer, “said Steinberg.
Gabriel succeeded 190 yards with two affected and no interception during his first departure for the Browns on Sunday, but the team lost against the Vikings of Minnesota 21-17. Gabriel obtained first place in second row for Cleveland after being selected with the choice of third round of the team during this year’s draft.

Sanders, although he was considered a hope higher to Gabriel at the end of the university, was only selected in the fifth round, when the Browns chose it with the 144th choice. Sanders was a pretender to the first choice in the general classification before the draft, but he fell to the fifth round in one of the most surprising and unprecedented draft slides in the history of the NFL.
And now Sanders is relegated to a replacement role behind another recruit in Cleveland, because Gabriel could prove to be the long-term holder of the browns, leaving Sanders without a clear track to become himself a holder. But Steinberg, as an agent, believes that it is “almost certain” that Sanders will start at the Quarterback post at one point this year.
Steinberg also thinks that sitting will always be beneficial for Sanders’ actions as a long -term quarterback.
“If Dillon Gabriel becomes the quarterback of the future, someone else will give SheDer Sanders a chance,” said Steinberg.

“Use time as a backup to learn as much as possible [you can]. Not starting the first year is what relaunched the careers of Jordon Love, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers – all these players were sitting for a year. »»
Steinberg said Sanders should wait patiently as a replacement “after a few years”, before recruiting a new team.
“At this point, all you know as a safeguarding is that someone else has their chance, and we will see and make decisions later, depending on the subsequent situation,” said Steinberg.
