Deshaun Watson has the inside track to be the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback in 2026 over Shedeur Sanders, sources told Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
Watson and Sanders both attended Cleveland’s voluntary minicamp last week, marking the beginning of a two-man quarterback competition after the club hired Todd Monken as head coach this year.
The two passers split starting reps on Day 1 of the Browns’ voluntary minicamp, but Watson took most of the main reps on the second day, including in the red zone and two-minute drill, sources told Cabot.
