Shedeur Sanders was given his moment in the spotlight. During the first three quarters of Cleveland’s exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers, Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns, took two sacks, and committed no turnovers.
But what was really important was how he managed the pressure of starting in spite of the fact that he had not had many high-level practice reps since training camp and that his NFL storyline was surrounded by bad rumors.
LeBron James, Jamie Foxx, and other celebrities gave Shedeur kudos for his performance, but none were more excited than his devoted admirer, Skip Bayless.
On his YouTube channel, Bayless stated: “Shedeur Sanders made the whole National Football League look like a bunch of petty fools. In some cases, racist fools. Tonight at Carolina, Shedeur made all those teams that had a 143 chances to draft him before he went 144. He shamed all of them, including the Cleveland Browns, who finally took him finally in the fifth round,”
Since the rookie was selected at a dismal 144 in the NFL draft, Skip has been furious with all the people who doubt Shedeur. He now has the opportunity to say, “I told you so.”
