In the video, Acho told Sanders to be greater than his greatest excuse. He listed some problems with the Browns' lineup and advised Sanders on what he needs to do when his team commits those mistakes.

"Shedeur, you have to be greater than your greatest excuse. The Browns, atleast Kevin Stefanski does not want to start you because he hasn't started you thus far," Acho said.

"So, Shedeur you have to go out there, and if your line doesn't necessarily block, make a guy miss. If a receiver doesn't necessarily get open, buy time. If the defense does have the right play call, make it wrong. Great throw, great catch beat great coverage every single time."

Kevin Durant's brother agreed with the former Eagles player's perspective, as he gave him a nod in a comment.

"There it go if he play bad these will be the excuses they push," Tony commented.

Later, Acho said that he did not want throws from Shedeur Sanders but instead wanted to see long handoffs. So far, Sanders has played only one game in his rookie season and has yet to make his first starting lineup appearance.

Kevin Durant praises Shedeur Sanders for doing great with the media in his rookie season

Shedeur Sanders is the NFL's new attraction as the Browns rookie carries a legacy-bound last name. While the rookie has not had the start he would have wanted for his first season in professional football, he has been doing well with the media.

Sheduer has not let the criticism get to his head and has continued to work on his craft. In an interview with Kay Adams on Oct. 8, Kevin Durant praised the Browns rookie for continuing to work on himself despite all the media attention.

"The media and the circus around him, that is what it is because of his last name, how he came into the league, and just who he is, but seems to be navigating that pretty well," Durant said. "He seems to be getting better, moved up to second on the depth chart so that means something. So he's progressing."

Kevin Durant has been accustomed to dealing with the media from a young age. Therefore, receiving praise from him for his ways serves as a confirmation for Sanders to continue walking the path he is on.
