UPDATE: The Cleveland Browns have officially named Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback for the upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers on July 15, 2025. This announcement comes on the heels of Sanders’ impressive performance in his first NFL start, where he led the team to a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
In a thrilling debut, Sanders went 11-of-20 for 209 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception. His win marked a significant achievement, as he became the first quarterback in 18 games to secure a victory in his initial start for the Browns. This success has generated considerable excitement among fans and analysts alike.
Despite concerns that Sanders might return to the bench with the expected return of teammate Dillon Gabriel from concussion protocol, the Browns have shown unwavering confidence in the rookie quarterback. This bold decision not only affirms the team’s commitment to Sanders but also sets the stage for him to solidify his role as a key player going forward.
Former President Donald Trump also weighed in on Sanders’ performance, praising the quarterback on social media. Trump stated, “Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great genes. I TOLD YOU SO!” The endorsement from such a prominent figure adds to the national spotlight on Sanders and the Browns.
As the Browns prepare to face the 49ers, all eyes will be on Sanders as he aims to build on his initial success and establish himself firmly in the NFL. Fans are eager to see if he can replicate his winning performance and lead the team to further victories.
