You\u2019ve got to be thankful, but know there\u2019s still more. There\u2019s still more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders reflected on his rookie year by talking about a Week 17 win over the Steelers in which he felt like, after being a bench warmer for the early part of the season, he accomplished something by the way he kept getting back up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were playing the Steelers. Their linebackers were hitting that game. I\u2019m on the pine the whole year,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cYou get out there you\u2019re like, \u2018This is something. I could do something like this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders took some criticism in that game for getting up and flexing after a third down run that failed to pick up the first down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me that\u2019s an accomplishment,\u201d he said. \u201cThis dude tried to knock my head off . . . That\u2019s the whole thing I\u2019m celebrating. I know it\u2019s fourth down, but I just evaded this tackle. I just got away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanders and the Browns didn\u2019t have a lot to celebrate last year, but he believes he\u2019ll have plenty to celebrate over the course of his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is battling with Deshaun Watson to be the Week One starter, but he says&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-748487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
