NFL legend shares wish for CU Buffs great Shedeur Sanders’ release, Kevin Stefanski’s firing from Browns

Eric Dickerson believes Colorado Buffaloes football legend Shedeur Sanders could do better than his current situation as the third-string quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel on the Cleveland Browns.

Dickerson not only wishes the “Grown QB” had been released when Browns GM Andrew Berry had the chance, but the Hall of Fame running back hopes the front office fires head coach Kevin Stefanski.

“I hate to see him there. I wish they would have cut him. Let him have an opportunity to go to a better football team. … I don’t think the coach [Kevin Stefanski] wanted him — they should have fired him too,” Dickerson told TMZ.

It’s unclear what Sanders truly thinks of Stefanski’s plan at the QB position. What we do know is that he sounds happy he wasn’t released during final roster cuts. Sanders is a fan of being on the scout team and even sounds like a spokesperson for the group.

“Whenever I get on scout team, that’s my gameday. Everybody knows. So that’s me having a game every week. I look at it, I have six games a week, so I’m happy rather than just having one game a week, on the weekends. The scout team receivers, all of us, we all know every day is gameday and we definitely approach everything in that fashion,” Sanders said to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.

“This is something my dad (Deion Sanders) used to say: ‘if you’re up there doing something every day, you better be getting better at it. So that’s how everything’s going. Everything we do in this building, it’s a learning thing. It’s learning every day. I’m in a great position to be sitting back, understanding the gameplan, understanding everything that the NFL is.

“I’m ready for my opportunity whenever that happens. But in this time that I’m not out there physically playing, I would say I’m growing everywhere.

“I feel like I’m handling everything good. The scout team or practice squad, whatever, we’re like a real family. You know what I mean? We’re like a real family over there, and we all play with a different purpose. That’s what I like is the team aspect of the scout team and the team aspect of the practice squad and everything like that. Because we’re all in it together and we love that.”

Dickerson doesn’t have a supporter of his opinion in Sanders. Well, not the whole opinion, anyway.
