"It’s amazing, you know, off of one week of practice. This is one week of practice," he said, smiling. "So, imagine what a full offseason would look like. It gets dangerous. But it’s just one week of practice, so I’m truly thankful that everything happened."

However, his comments rubbed some people the wrong way, with critics saying the Cleveland Browns rookie displayed unnecessary swagger.

"I'm who they been looking for," Sanders said. "A lot of people wanted to see me fail, and it ain't going to happen. It ain't going to happen."

He struggled in Week 11 after being thrust into action against Baltimore with little preparation. Sanders didn't have first-team reps ahead of the game, entering at halftime and finishing with 47 yards.

Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski elevated Sanders to a starter midweek, giving him full practice work for the first time since joining the team as a fifth-round pick. Sanders made several key throws. He had a deep third-down completion to Isaiah Bond and a long catch-and-run touchdown from Dylan Sampson.

Sanders climbed from fourth-string to starter in a matter of weeks due to injuries and roster moves involving Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel. Stefanski is still undecided on quarterback plans moving forward.
