In a highly anticipated preseason matchup, Shedeur Sanders, the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback, made a strong impression in his debut for the Cleveland Browns. The Texas native, who is the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns in the game against the Carolina Panthers.
Sanders' performance was particularly noteworthy as he was thrust into the starting role due to injuries in the Browns' quarterback room. After a few rocky plays early on, the young signal-caller settled in and delivered a standout performance that silenced many of his doubters.
One of the notable names to take notice of Sanders' impressive outing was former Texas star and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
