Some felt that there were attempts to sabotage Shedeur, who was sacked five times when he played against the Rams, given that Huntley is not expected to make it to the Browns' roster. “If you needed proof of what Stefanski thinks of Shedeur, this is it,” a person said on X, sharing a clip of the coach's post-game statements.

Hindustan Times has not been able to verify these fan claims about coach Stefanski.

Calls to fire coach Stefanski rise

Amidst the unverified claims of the coach trying to sabotage Shedeur, there have been some calls for Stefanski to be fired. “The Media calling Stefanski out for sabotaging Shedeur Sanders w/ intent to harm. But, too scared to call for the obvious solution, Fire Kevin Stefanski!,” one person said on X.

The coach also responded to the theories circulating about his treatment of Sanders, saying “I don't concern myself with outside types of things, but I'm committed to his development just like all of our rookies.” The video was shared by a News 5 Cleveland reporter.

Shedeur Sanders is the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, and was picked by the Browns on day 3 of the drafting process. Notably, there have been no official announcement from Cleveland Browns about any intention to fire Stefanski.
