Shedeur Sanders Ends Reporter’s Career with 6-Word Response over Question about Kevin Stefanski Sabotaging Him [VIDEO]

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

A Cleveland Browns reporter made things interesting on Wednesday by posing a direct question to Shedeur Sanders about Kevin Stefanski, regarding a topic that has been on everyone’s mind.

With Dillon Gabriel recovering from a concussion, Kevin Stefanski announced Shedeur Sanders as the starting quarterback for Cleveland’s Week 12 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sanders threw for 209 yards, a touchdown, and one interception in his first NFL start, a 24-10 Browns win.

Because Stefanski waited so long to start Sanders, some fans have wondered if the two-time Coach of the Year has purposely sabotaged his rookie quarterback. Stefanski only fueled that speculation with his postgame speech after Sunday’s win over Las Vegas.

During Shedeur Sanders’ press conference on Wednesday, reporter Jeff Schudel of The News-Herald boldly brought up the “sabotaging” speculation. Sanders, however, wasn’t going to stir the pot.

“So you just want to start trouble?” Sanders asked, leading to Schudel’s follow-up question about their relationship.

“Definitely like a coach, he tells me what I need to do on and off the field,” Sanders told Schudel. “We’ve definitely grown. Our relationship and everything has grown, so I’m just thankful to be here.”

So, make of that as you will.

Shedeur Sanders Will Start Against The San Francisco 49ers On Sunday

Per ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi, Stefanski has already announced that Shedeur Sanders will get the nod for Sunday’s home clash against the red-hot San Francisco 49ers, even though Gabriel is out of concussion protocol.

Before getting injured in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens, the 24-year-old Gabriel had completed just 59.2 percent of pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.

Sanders didn’t light up the stat sheet in his first NFL start, but it’s hard to make a change after a win. The Browns offense seemed to fuel off Sanders’ passion and energy, so Stefanski may as well see what he can do against a tougher opponent in the 49ers before considering going back to Gabriel.
