Shedeur Sanders played for the first time as the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns in a preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on August 8, 2025. In the match, where the team took the field with reserve players, Sanders managed to showcase an impressive game, completing a 7-yard touchdown pass to Kaden Davis in the second quarter. This touchdown served as a response to the previous superstars, as the Browns scored with a thrown ball.

Despite starting with some difficulties, he managed to finish the game with 138 yards and two touchdowns, which drew positive reviews in sports analytics. ESPN noted that his performance was impressive, and analysts like Louis Riddick highlighted his "wow-factor" during the games.

Some critics, including Steven A. Smith, expressed concern about whether Sanders was ready for such a challenge without adequate preparation, as he had been working with the third team. However, his trainer Kevin Stefanski decided to give him a chance, which became an important step in the young quarterback's career.

Thanks to his talent and favorable feedback from the media side, Sanders raised the bar for other quarterbacks in the team, and now they have to prove their readiness in the upcoming game.
