“Everybody’s cool,” Sanders said. “Outside the room, people try to pit us against each other, but inside the room, we know we’re one.”
Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco wasn’t interested in dancing during OTAs this week — or seemingly at any point in his career. During a brief exchange at practice, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders asked the 40-year-old veteran if he had “ever hit that dance” before showing him the move. “Definitely not,” Flacco responded frankly. “I don’t think I’ve ever hit a public dance move in my life.”
The lighthearted moment drew laughs, but some observers saw it as a glimpse into Flacco’s no-nonsense demeanor and a subtle indicator of where each quarterback’s focus lies.
“Joe is a Super Bowl-winning QB who only cares about playing. Shedeur wants to be a celebrity,” one fan said.
“Joe wants to win football. Shedeur wants to dance,” another added.
Flacco has been pegged by some to be the early favorite to land the starting gig. The four-way competition for the role includes Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett and Flacco.
“Joe Flacco, an 18-year veteran who’s played under Stefanski before, should be well ahead of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders,” The Athletic’s Zac Jackson said recently. “Flacco is probably ahead of Kenny Pickett, too. Flacco throws the ball in a practice setting better than any of them. Add his overall experience, and he’s the favorite to win the job, unless Stefanski and others in the organization just favor Pickett — or unless Pickett outplays Flacco in the coming months.”
