Shedeur Sanders is officially settling into his new NFL home, and the moment his Cleveland Browns locker was revealed sparked a proud, and playful… response from his father, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders.
The Browns documented Shedeur’s first look at his new surroundings, showcasing his No. 12 jersey, freshly issued team gear, and a wide smile that spoke volumes. The footage, posted across the team’s social media channels, captured a major milestone in the rookie quarterback’s journey… and a touching family moment in the making.
Deion Sanders couldn’t resist joining in the celebration. Taking to Instagram, he wrote:
“God is faithful! I know for a fact that smile is genuine! Let’s go #2… I mean #12.”
The playful nod referenced Shedeur’s college number, #2, which he wore while starring at Jackson State and Colorado.
Despite being projected as a possible first-round pick, Shedeur slid to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft… a move that ignited major media discussion. Now with a chip on his shoulder and a playbook in hand, Shedeur is embracing the opportunity ahead.
“I got everything I need to be successful now,” he said, beaming as he checked out his cleats and playbook.
Shedeur enters a competitive quarterback room led by seasoned veteran Joe Flacco, with Kenny Pickett and rookie Dillon Gabriel also in the mix. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has made it clear the starting job is up for grabs during training camp.
As one of college football’s most talked-about prospects, Shedeur’s transition to the pros will be closely watched. Known for his precision passing and cool demeanor in the pocket, scouts continue to call for growth in one key area: knowing when to throw the ball away to avoid costly sacks.
Whether he starts or learns behind the vets, Shedeur Sanders’ NFL journey is officially underway… and if his first day with the Browns is any indication, he’s ready to make his mark.
