Shedeur Sanders His NFL career has had a pretty start, and like his father, he is not shy about summoning journalists.
Sanders in his Cleveland Brown The preseason game against the Carolina Panthers became a topic of football on Friday night.
In a YouTube video posted by his brother Deion Sanders Jr., Shedeur faces Browns’ best reporter at Bank of America Stadium, Tony Grossi of ESPN. Despite Sanders’ sarcasm with reporters, it’s not an annoying interaction.

“Tony, I hope you can say something positive to me,” Sanders said to Grossi. “You only say something negative about me. I thought, ‘I have nothing to do with you.’ I can’t see what you say positive.”
Grossi’s answer was unheard, although they laughed afterwards.
“What am I doing? What am I doing to you?” Sanders said as he walked away.
After the game, Grossi’s thoughts about Sanders were heard on ESPN Cleveland.
“I think Shedir is great,” Grossi said.
He also wrote that Sanders “puts pressure on QB2 Kenny Pickett and QB3 Dillon Gabriel to keep it healthy and perform next week.”

Brown will take over Philadelphia Eagles In next week’s second preseason, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will receive a considerable representation.
Grossi has been criticizing Sanders since the start of Browns training camp, but he isn’t the only one in football to do so.
At least, Sanders fell on the NFL draft committee in April as he entered the Browns with the 144th overall pick. Since then, he has been criticized and not even robbed.
In training camp, Sanders has very limited representation in first-team offense, usually working with the second and third players as he develops at that position.

But Friday night changed the conversation about rookies, and the Browns’ quarterback game is heating up the way the NFL wants it. Of course, Joe Flacco’s job is still a lost job, but as Grossi says, Pickett and rookie Gabriel are under some pressure after what Sanders produces in Charlotte.
