Shedeur Sanders hasn't been getting the reps his supporters would want him to get at training camp.
Through most Cleveland Browns drills and scenarios so far, the former Colorado QB is the last passer to get a chance.
Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have all appeared to be ahead of Sanders in the pecking order.
Sanders shared his honest feelings about the situation with reporters on Friday:
"That's not my place to answer, to even be able to give the answer to that. I feel like it's out of my control, so I'm not even gonna think about that or have that in my thought process of why it is. There's a lot of people that want to have the opportunity to be at this level, and I'm here, and I'm thankful to have the opportunity. So whenever that is, it is."

That's really solid perspective from Sanders.
Once he fell to pick No. 144 in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, he could've taken on two different mindsets. He could've felt like the world was out to get him, or he could've realized that he still had an opportunity and try to make the most of it.
At least in those words, Sanders appears to understand he shouldn't take this chance for granted.
If he keeps that mindset, he'll have a chance to move up the depth chart as time goes on.
