Todd Monken explains where he’s seen the most growth from play making QB Shedeur Sanders #Browns https://t.co/Fj8rTXHWDh

What happened: Todd Monken highlighted Shedeur Sanders' willingness to take checkdowns and release the ball sooner. The assessment comes as the Cleveland Browns evaluate Sanders during training camp.

Why it matters: Those quicker decisions could influence the Browns' quarterback competition. Practice performance will determine how Cleveland assigns the starts in its first two preseason games.

By the numbers: Cleveland's quarterbacks have combined for 17 interceptions in training camp to date.

What to watch: The Browns will continue evaluating the position before their Aug. 15 preseason opener. The starting order for the first two exhibition games remains to be set.
