Shedeur Sanders' possible NFL starting QB debut with Browns has a scheduled opponent

Shedeur Sanders knows the Cleveland Browns' Week 1 opponent.

Now, the Colorado QB just has to win the starting QB job.

That's far from a given for the fifth-rounder, of course, but it would certainly generate a lot of hype.

So will the Week 1 matchup. It's the Battle of Ohio, Browns hosting Cincinnati Bengals.

Sanders against Joe Burrow to open the season? Yes please.

The Browns have four options to start at quarterback, though, so who knows what will happen?

It could be 40-year old Joe Flacco, or former Steelers QB Kenny Pickett, or third-round pick Dillon Gabriel.

Or Sanders, the most popular rookie in the NFL.

There would certainly be more people watching the game if Sanders gets the call.

The Browns very likely won't rush Sanders, especially knowing the hype train that is around him at all times.

But if they want to have some fun, they can start Sanders in Week 1 against the Bengals.
