URGENT UPDATE: Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders has expressed his gratitude to President Donald Trump following his impressive NFL debut. The 23-year-old rookie led the Browns to a 24-10 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12, marking a significant moment in his career.
Trump, a long-time supporter of Sanders, celebrated the quarterback’s success on Truth Social shortly after the game. “Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!” Trump posted, highlighting his confidence in Sanders’ potential.
In a heartfelt response, Sanders thanked the President for his support. “He definitely been a supporter for a minute,” Sanders told 92.3 The Fan. “So I’m just thankful for him. From even taking time out of his day to be able to speak out, his support.”
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski initially kept the media guessing about Sanders’ future as the starting quarterback. However, it has now been confirmed that Sanders will retain his position for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers at Huntington Bank Field.
Despite his newfound role, Sanders remains humble and focused. “I’m definitely not comfortable,” he told ESPN. “But in life, you got to understand how quickly things come or how long it comes, it could be taken at any point in time. So I’m never comfortable in a situation I’m in. I always want to exceed expectations, and I always want to grow in each and every week.”
Currently, the Browns sit at the bottom of the AFC North with a record of 3 wins and 8 losses. As the team prepares for their upcoming matchup, all eyes will be on Sanders as he aims to build on his debut success.
The significance of this moment is not just for Sanders but also reflects a broader narrative in sports where young athletes are often thrust into the spotlight. With Trump’s endorsement and a successful debut under his belt, Sanders has the potential to inspire others and reshape the trajectory of his team.
Stay tuned as this story develops, and watch for Sanders’ performance against the 49ers this Sunday.
