The Cleveland Browns are one of the few NFL teams that will go into training camp without a set QB1.

Shedeur Sanders is the highest-profile fifth -round rookie we've ever seen after his draft slide.

The Browns brought back Joe Flacco , who was the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year when he helped Cleveland to the playoffs two seasons ago .

Flacco is the one QB on the roster with a positive NFL track record.

Even if Sanders is fantastic in August , the same concerns about throwing a rookie to the wolves in that early-season gauntlet still apply. The Browns presumably don't want to set up either rookie to fail early in the season . Sanders could end up starting at some point late in his rookie season, because the Browns seem like a team that could end up starting four different quarterbacks in a rough season . But make no mistake, Sanders has a long way to go before he gets on the field for the Browns. Chance of starting: 1 percent .
