Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw two touchdown passes in his first NFL preseason game Friday night, shocking many fans after an unsteady start to his NFL career.
Sanders’ performance even caught the attention of NBA star LeBron James.
«That young (man) looking good out there», James wrote. «Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high.»
James later added another post, «And I don’t wanna hear that «It’s only preseason» bs. Cause if he was out there not going in y’all would be on his (butt) about it! So give credit and grace lames.»
Sanders’ father, Deion Sanders, celebrated his son’s successful first preseason game in multiple posts on X.
«Yes Lawd! Yes @ShedeurSanders», Deion posted on X after the first touchdown.
After the second touchdown, the elder Sanders posted «oh yeah what now!» and «God is so good!»
The rookie got the start for the Browns’ first preseason game due to injuries to quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel despite a tumultuous first few months as a pro.
