No one in the Prime Fam could’ve imagined that Shedeur Sanders, their second-youngest member, would end up at 144. Oh, that’s his draft number, and it sent shockwaves in the sports world earlier this year. The supposed top prospect in the States surely didn’t have his dreams come true. But the Cleveland Browns gave him a home. And on Friday, he debuted. The much-awaited moment rolled on as the 23yo moved past his hiccup. LeBron James clapped, and so did Shaquille O’Neal and others.
Now, on Aug 8, as the NFL preseason kicked in, the Browns faced the Carolina Panthers at the Bank of America Stadium. As expected, Shedeur had all eyes on him. Sanders shook off a shaky first quarter to light up the field. He went 11-of-18 for 103 yards, firing two touchdowns to Kaden Davis. By his second pass in the next quarter, Davis had scored, and the Browns were strutting with the lead.
While LeBron James was the first one to congratulate the 23-year-old’s first game as a pro, the LA Lakers legend, Shaquille O’Neal, also chimed in. Instead of dropping direct strong words for Shedeur, he went with more emotions. Thus sharing an IG Reel on his story, the Big Shamrock said: “I’m a Dad, not a perfect man. I mess up, I fall short. But I’d give my life for my kids without hesitation.” And before that, Shaq shared another Story with a clip of Sanders’ first NFL touchdown.
This is a developing story…
