Shedeur Sanders got help from Deshaun Watson on the sidelines during Raiders-Browns game.
NFL fans, get this: rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders didn’t just step into his first big moment against the Raiders. No, there was Deshaun Watson, the veteran QB, to ‘coach’ him up from the sidelines like a seasoned tutor helping a student take a finals exam.
Here’s the wild part: Watson is supposed to be injured. He’s been rehabbing a torn Achilles, so he’s not out there suiting up, calling plays, or throwing bombs. But that didn’t stop him from traveling with the team to offer Shedeur the needed help.
So there they were: Shedeur, about to make his NFL starting debut, and Watson, on head, sunglasses indoors (of course), walking up and down the Browns’ sideline like he’s preparing for a TED Talk, not a touchdown. According to reports, Watson wasn’t just there for show, he was there typically for Shedeur.
It’s not just a random cameo. Watson was reported earlier that he was going to travel with the team and it happened.
And yes, the timing is something else. Watson hasn’t traveled much with the team this year because of his injury. But for this game, Shedeur’s first start, he made the trip. That says a lot!
Shedeur got more than just a spot on the roster. He got a teacher. And Watson? Well, he got to feel like his career is still useful.
Bottom line: This wasn’t just a coach on the sidelines. It was a player who knew what winning and losing felt like, helping someone who was about to learn for real.
