Shedeur Sanders made a stunning debut in the NFL, playing for Cleveland Browns in the first game of the preseason against Carolina Panthers on September 8, 2025. In the match, which ended with a score of 30-10, he completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and scored two touchdowns.
Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, started the game, despite being regarded as the fourth-string quarterback. His performance was made possible due to the injury of Kenny Pickett and limited participation of Dillon Gabriel in training. Head coach Kevin Stefanski noted that Sanders showed poise and readiness to play.
During the game, Sanders initially felt nervous, but gradually established a connection with his teammates. His quick decisions and ability to evade pressure impressed both fans and experts. Social media users actively discussed his performance, comparing him to his father's achievements.
Sanders received support from fellow players, including his mother Pilar, who expressed pride for her son on social media. After the game, Nike released a statement highlighting that "everything will happen in due time," indicating the potential for Sanders to rise to the starting quarterback position.
Previously, in the Browns' training against Philadelphia Eagles, there was an opportunity for Sanders to showcase himself again. If he manages to maintain his performance, it could lead to a change in status to the quarterback position.
