Shedeur Sanders, the Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback, will remain the starter against the San Francisco 49ers even after fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol that he suffered in Week 11. In light of this news, Sanders recently addressed his current situation with the coach.

“He’s been doing a very great job with everything that’s going on,” Sanders stated in a segment on 92.3 The Fan. “We’ve definitely grown…our relationship has grown.”

It would seem that there is improved communication and trust between the two, heading into week 13. Sanders also offered positive words about Dillon Gabriel, the Browns’ third-round pick, who returns after clearing concussion protocol.

“He’s a hard worker. He’s the same guy. He knows how to bond and mesh with different people,” Sanders said. “Since he’s been back, he’s been good. He’s been cool throughout everything.”
