Deshaun Watson throws six INTs in training camp amid QB battle with Shedeur Sanders
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is facing intense scrutiny after throwing six interceptions during training camp, fueling speculation about a potential starting role for Shedeur Sanders. The competition is being closely monitored as the team prepares for the upcoming NFL season.
Why it matters
The performance of high-profile quarterbacks in training camp directly impacts team strategy and fan expectations for the NFL season.
Every throw will be judged with 10x scrutiny. It’s a quarterback competition. And it’s training camp. Just days before preseason. Even one interception is costly. And Deshaun Watson had 6! That calls for brownie points for Shedeur Sanders! By hook or by crook.Till now, the veteran and the second-year QB have been going head-to-head, but entering training camp and throwing six interceptions? That’s going to be costly. He has not played in nearly 2 years.Whereas Sanders has not had an absent year for the longest time in his football life: mostly college and one-year [okay, a few games] in the NFL. This is all going to count.How much a quarterback is accustomed to the gridiron. If he’s throwing passes that turn into touchdowns or interceptions. And now, it looks like Shedeur is winning the battle.
