Colorado Buffaloes’ coach Deion Sanders wasn’t on the sideline for his son’s NFL debut, but Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders still kept a meaningful pregame tradition alive.

Shilo Sanders joked that he’s not gifting his first NFL jersey to his dad on his birthday because “he doesn’t want it (laughs). You know he’s a Hall of Famer. He expects like 30 times more. I’m gonna give it to my mom though. … I gotta get like three picks for him to want it.” pic.twitter.com/k0jEB6fUGH

Heading into Friday's preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, all eyes were on Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The rookie fifth-round pick got the start with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel all out of the lineup, leaving Sanders and Tyler Huntley as the only two available QBs.
