"Sanders's start followed weeks of public pressure on the coaching staff to make the move. After the team traded veteran QB Joe Flacco, head coach Kevin Stefanski named fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel the starter. In games that Gabriel started and finished, the Browns were 1-4 with a handful of humiliating losses. Gabriel left his sixth start with a concussion, bringing Sanders into the game against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday."
"Despite throwing an interception, he made a number of flashy plays and even threw his first career touchdown. Following Sanders's start, Trump claimed he knew all along that the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders would have success. Shedeur Sanders was GREAT, Trump said in the post. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!"
Shedeur Sanders started his first NFL game for the Cleveland Browns against the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The start followed weeks of public pressure after the team traded veteran QB Joe Flacco and named rookie Dillon Gabriel the starter. Gabriel went 1-4 in games he finished and left his sixth start with a concussion, prompting Sanders' earlier entry and eventual elevation to starter while Gabriel worked through protocol. Donald Trump posted praise on Truth Social, calling Sanders great and saying he had predicted Sanders' success.
