Shedeur Sanders Prepares for NFL Debut as Browns Starter Sunday

UPDATE: Shedeur Sanders is set to make his highly anticipated first NFL start with the Cleveland Browns this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 action. After a rocky debut against the Baltimore Ravens last week, where he completed just four of his 16 passes for 47 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception, all eyes will be on the young quarterback as he seeks redemption.

As the excitement builds around Shedeur’s starting opportunity, fans and analysts alike are wondering if his father, Deion Sanders, will travel to support him in person. Deion, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, is facing off against No. 25 Arizona State at home on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET. This timing adds to the speculation about whether he can attend Shedeur’s game on Sunday.

When asked about his potential plans, Deion expressed uncertainty but acknowledged the emotional weight of attending. “I don’t know,” he said. “I haven’t made up my mind yet. I’ve been urged to go. I’m pretty sure he wants me to go. You know how you want to be out of the way. You don’t want to be his distraction. But not that I would ever be, but then you think, you know, he came all the way up here to see you. So, that’s even a shorter trip to go see him. You start thinking that as a dad. Because you know what it would mean to him if he just gets a glimpse of you before he walks out.”

The bond between father and son has been strengthened through their shared success at both Jackson State and Colorado, making Deion’s presence at the game even more significant. Shedeur has expressed how much it would mean to see his father in the stands, emphasizing the emotional connection that fuels his ambition.

With the pressure mounting, Shedeur is eager to turn the tide and deliver a standout performance in his first start. Fans and teammates are hopeful that the young quarterback can shake off last week’s struggles and rise to the occasion against the Raiders.

As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on Deion Sanders to see if he will make the trip. His decision could not only impact Shedeur’s mindset but also set the tone for the Browns’ game against the Raiders.
