Shedeur Sanders confronts reporter for trying to 'start trouble' as he shuts down Browns 'sabotage' claims
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders started his first NFL game on Sunday and walked out with his first victory as a starter.After beating the hapless Las Vegas Raiders 24-10, Sanders proved he earned the starting job going forward.Despite previous starter Dillon Gabriel being healthy enough for this upcoming week's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski committed to Sanders starting.It's an interesting result for internet conspiracy theorists - who have been speculating all offseason and for much of the regular season that Stefanski was sabotaging Sanders.Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Sanders was asked about his relationship with Stefanski. The reporter in question asked it in a rather pointed manner, drawing a reaction from the young quarterback who wondered if the media member was trying to 'start trouble'. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski was accused of 'sabotaging' Shedeur Sanders' career The rookie quarterback confronted the reporter asking if he was trying to 'start trouble' Sanders swatted those rumors aside, saying Stefanski has been doing a 'very great job'After the reporter clarified that he only wanted to know about Sanders' relationship with his head coach, the quarterback continued: 'Yeah. Well, what people do outside the building isn't really in my control, it's not in my power.'You act like I can go out there and tell them to do whatever. That's not nothing I can control or nothing I can do. Overall, I'm just happy to be here. 'Coach Stefanski been coaching since I got here and he's been doing a very great job with everything that's going on.'Pressed again, Sanders described his relationship with Stefanski as 'growing'. Sanders' first NFL appearance came under heavy pressure after Gabriel was ruled out with a concussion in a game against the Baltimore Ravens.While he did not perform well in his first appearance, he did redeem himself against the Raiders - completing 11-of-20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
