Straight Up Lying' -- Ex-NFL DT Fires Back at Reports Claiming Browns Locker Room Wanted Shedeur Sanders Over Deshaun Watson

A former Cleveland Browns defensive tackle is pushing back on reports suggesting the locker room wanted Shedeur Sanders to be QB1 instead of Deshaun Watson. After the Browns’ offseason QB competition reportedly favored Watson, speculation swirled following a preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills and an intense postgame news conference. The debate also grew online, with claims that players preferred Sanders. Anthony Lima of 92.3 The Fan said he hadn’t seen internal evidence of any “wrong guy” narrative. Breiden Fehoko, a former nose tackle, echoed that view on X, stating the locker room, coaching staff and front office support Watson and calling contrary reports “straight up lying.”
