Shedeur Sanders made his NFL debut with the Cleveland Browns in Week 11 of the 2025 season on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Shedeur replaced fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who suffered a concussion, in the third quarter. However, Shedeur struggled, completing just four of 16 passes for 47 yards with an interception as Cleveland suffered a 23-16 loss.

Despite a rough debut for Shedeur, his father, Deion Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, was a proud man.

“I know the fight behind the fight,” Sanders said on Tuesday. “I know what’s been transpiring behind the curtains, and I’m just proud of him. Because he’s not just saying the right things, he’s doing and living the right things. That’s just who he is, he's a Sanders."

Shedeur played his entire collegiate career with Deion as his coach. The QB played two years at Jackson State before transferring to Colorado in 2023 after his father was hired by the Buffs.

In his final year at CU, Shedeur posted 4,134 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and four rushing TDs. He led the Buffs to a 9-4 record as Colorado was recognized as one of the most improved teams in the country.

The Browns took Sanders with the No. 144 pick in this year's NFL draft. He was taken 50 picks after Cleveland selected Gabriel.
