The Shedeur Sanders trolls sure are seeing a little bit of heat right now. After nearly slipping off the draft, the QB became a question mark for Cleveland. Chosen at the very end for an already loaded QB room, how was he going to be the star everyone claimed to be. But his preseason debut says otherwise. Maybe the era of the Sanders’ family’s second generation is here. On his birthday, Deion Sanders saw an uplifting message come from Dawn Staley, the genius behind South Carolina’s women’s basketball program.
Shedeur Sanders has stunned the trolls into silence after a brilliant debut at Cleveland’s preseason game. This time, the QB is once again in the news for the right reasons. With 14-of-23 passing, 138 yards, and 2 TD passes to Kaden Davis, Deion Sanders’ prodigy has made his mark in the pro leagues. The development comes as a welcome feat in the Sanders clan, which has gone through an extremely tough time. Deion Sanders, who turns 58 today, sees a heartfelt message for his son from South Carolina’s Dawn Staley.
“Super happy for @ShedeurSanders ! You can try to break a young fella’s spirit but you can’t touch his talent! Do the damn thing Shedeur!!!” the basketball coach wrote on X. She is among the few who never lost hope in Sanders, while the online world rained down wrath upon the QB. Shedeur helped the Browns publish a thumping 30-10 win, which should put his own competition and other NFL teams on notice. A proud Deion Sanders reposted Staley’s tweet after a series of his own. “Oh yeah what now!” he wrote in one.

“When I get out there, it’s just doing what I gotta do. Everything else is not in my hands, so I don’t worry about it. I just don’t think that deep into everything because it’s nothing you’re gonna be able to control. So why put energy in something that you can’t control?” Sanders said after his wonderful debut. Will Deion Sanders truly be able to see his legacy being continued by Shedeur, based on what we saw in this preseason game?
