Shedeur Sanders Throws First NFL Preseason Touchdown
9 Aug
Summary
- Shedeur Sanders throws first NFL preseason touchdown
- Deion Sanders celebrates son's milestone on social media
- Sanders shows promise and room for improvement in debut

On August 9th, 2025, Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his first NFL preseason start and threw his first touchdown pass. Early in the second quarter, Sanders found receiver Kaden Davis for a 7-yard score, capitalizing on a muffed punt by the Panthers.
Shedeur's proud father, NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was quick to celebrate the milestone on social media, writing "Yes Lawd! Yes!" on X (formerly Twitter). This marks the first game Shedeur has played in without Deion as his coach, as he transitions to the professional ranks.
Sanders' debut had its ups and downs. He threw the touchdown, converted a third-and-long with his legs, and made another third-down conversion through the air. However, he also missed an open receiver and got his first taste of pressure from an NFL-caliber front. Overall, the young quarterback showed promise and room for improvement as he continues to compete for the Browns' starting job.
