Shedeur Sanders might be in trouble going into next season.
After getting a chance to start in the second half of the Cleveland Browns' season, the results were mixed. Although he broke the curse that hadn't seen a rookie quarterback make their debut with the Browns and win in over twenty years, that was one of the few positives Sanders had.
For every big step he took forward, he got sacked a few steps backwards with an interception thrown in for good measure.

As the Cleveland Browns search for their next head coach, one of the finalists for the position might be one of the few who see the talent Sanders has that others might not.

Nathan Scheelhaase might not be a head coach this cycle, but the Los Angeles Rams' pass game coordinator will be a head coach one day in the NFL. The former Illinois QB, Scheelhaase, is one of the younger candidates and a rising star amongst assistants in the league.
Whereas some offensive coordinators come into the Rams and get overshadowed by Sean McVay, Scheelhaase is different. He is one of the two young names consistently praised by the Rams' brain trust, the other being James Gladstone. Gladstone, who could be seen as a possible successor to general manager Les Snead, got poached by the Jacksonville Jaguars last offseason and has already shown his worth in his rookie season.
While every team wants to find the perfect protege of McVay, Scheelhaase might actually be the one. Only 35, if he goes to the right team, could be their next head coach for the next two decades-plus.
Like McVay when he came to Los Angeles and helped a hapless Jared Goff play to his strengths, Scheelhaase could do the same with Sanders. If the Browns go a more traditional route, there's a good chance a veteran would want a more experienced QB to start his rebuild with, or go out and get his own signal-caller in the draft.
McVay showed the blueprint for turning a QB the media and even fans had written off into a leader who can take a team to a Super Bowl.
If Scheelhaase truly is the "Son of McVay" like many experts believe he could one day be, what better way to prove it than to take Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and the rest of the offensive room in Cleveland and turn it around?
