Todd Monken has given his first press conference as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. However, when asked about Shedeur Sanders, he remained tight-lipped.

Todd Monken, the newly appointed head coach of the Cleveland Browns, spoke positively about quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his first press conference, but without making a clear decision about the starting position.

Monken, who previously served as offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, emphasized Sanders’ high potential but refrained from revealing any detailed plans.

Shedeur Sanders starter for the Browns? Monken evades the question

When asked whether Sanders would start the offseason as the starter, Monken evaded the question. “Obviously, we were excited about Shedeur’s abilities and what we thought he could become back when we were with the Ravens, as were many teams,” Monken said, referring to last year’s draft process with the Ravens. “But I really don’t want to go into detail about another team’s process.”

Monken instead emphasized the soft skills he looks for in a quarterback: “When you talk about who’s going to lead this team, who has the ‘it’ factor, who has the qualities that the team wants to follow and believe in because the ball is in his hands on every down? This game is going to come down to two-minute situations, four-minute situations. You have to be able to execute at a high level,“ he explained. Whether that’s Sanders? ”We’ll see,” he said diplomatically, leaving the decision open. Deshaun Watson is also likely to be an option again next year.
