Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is battling with Deshaun Watson to be the Week One starter, but he says he plans to win a lot more than a training camp competition in his career. Sanders said on his YouTube channel that his goal is to be among the greatest quarterbacks in football. "I’m not content just being on no team," Sanders said. "I’m trying to be one of the greatest. You've got to be thankful, but know there’s still more. There's still more.” Sanders reflected on his rookie year by talking about a Week 17 win over the Steelers in which he felt like, after being a bench warmer for the early part of the season, he accomplished something by the way he kept getting back up. "We were playing the Steelers. Their linebackers were hitting that game. I'm on the pine the whole year," Sanders said. "You get out there you're like, 'This is something. I could do something like this.'" Sanders took some criticism in that game for getting up and flexing after a third down run that failed to pick up the first down. "To me that's an accomplishment," he said. "This dude tried to knock my head off . . . That's the whole thing I'm celebrating. I know it's fourth down, but I just evaded this tackle. I just got away." Sanders and the Browns didn't have a lot to celebrate last year, but he believes he'll have plenty to celebrate over the course of his career.
