Shedeur Sanders, a rookie for the Cleveland Browns, marked his debut in the NFL by leading his team to a win over the Carolina Panthers with a score of 30-10. In his first game, Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and scored two touchdowns, while also adding 23 yards on the ground.
Sanders, who was selected in the draft with the 144th pick, got the chance to start due to injuries to his competitors - Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel. Veteran Joe Flacco did not play, and Deshon Watson is expected to miss the season due to injury.
In the early moments of the game, Sanders appeared a bit shaky, but soon found his rhythm, finishing the first half with 11 of 18 passes for 103 yards. During the game, he demonstrated the poise that the Browns lacked in the previous season.
After a successful debut, Sanders rated his game at C+, noting that he still needs to improve the start of games. After the match, he was approached by the legendary NFL player Deion Sanders, who praised him for not being overwhelmed by the scoring opportunities.
Among the comments about his game, Browns receiver Myles Garrett noted that Sanders showed a good start, but there is still more to work on. Head coach Kevin Stefanski also emphasized that the team is still at the stage of evaluating players and is not rushing to announce a starting lineup.
The next game for the Browns will be against last season's champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on September 16, which will become another opportunity for Sanders to prove himself.
