The Browns acquired Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of this year's NFL draft. Apart from him, they also drafted ex-Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel while signing veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett in the offseason.

Flacco was named as the team's starting quarterback for the season. Coach Prime's son was named as the third-string option on the quarterback depth chart. He has yet to make his official debut on the field, while the Browns are 1-2 to start the season.

On Saturday, Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot had an interview with the Browns' rookie. During this interaction, Shedeur opened up about his daily activities with the team.

"So I look at, I have six games a week, you know, so I'm happy, rather than just having one game a week, you know, on the weekend," Shedeur said as per Cabot. "The scout team, receivers, all of us. We all know like every day's game day." "And, and we definitely approach everything in that fast and everything because I truly believe the receivers we have, on the scout team is really explosive and really great, they just need the opportunity. I'm very thankful, you know, I have those guys, you know, out there with me whenever I'm out there competing."

The Browns next face the Detroit Lions on Sept. 28. The game will be broadcast on FOX at 1:00 pm ET. Will Shedeur Sanders get the chance to see some playing time in Week 4?
