Shedeur Sanders Apologizes to Deion Sanders After Browns-Panthers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. NFL legend Deion Sanders was clearly proud of his son Shedeur for his performance as the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback in Friday's preseason opener. The young signal-caller, however, felt that he had let his father down.

Heading into Friday's preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers, all eyes were on Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The rookie fifth-round pick got the start with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel all out of the lineup, leaving Sanders and Tyler Huntley as the only two available QBs.

Deion Sanders couldn't help expressing excitement on Friday night as his son Shedeur Sanders made an impressive NFL preseason debut.

Shilo Sanders joked that he’s not gifting his first NFL jersey to his dad on his birthday because “he doesn’t want it (laughs). You know he’s a Hall of Famer. He expects like 30 times more. I’m gonna give it to my mom though. … I gotta get like three picks for him to want it.” pic.twitter.com/k0jEB6fUGH

Shilo Sanders had a strong preseason debut, but the job is far from finished. The undrafted Buccaneers safety made his presence known Saturday in his preseason debut, when he recorded a tackle and quarterback hit against the Titans in a 29-7 win.
