“Tony, I hope you have something positive to say about me,” Sanders told Grossi. “You only say negative things about me. And I’m like ‘I don’t do anything for you.’ I don’t see anything positive that you ever say.

Browns will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in their second preseason game next week, with chief coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will get significant reps.

In training camp, Sanders has had very limited reps with the first team of violation, and often worked with the second and third teams as he develops on the position.

But Friday night, the conversation about the highly published Rookie changed and Browns’ Quarterback competition warms up how the NFL would feel. Javisst, it remains Joe Flacco’s job to lose, but as Grossi said, Pickett and colleague Rookie Gabriel has some pressure on what Sanders produced in Charlotte.
