LeBron James sends major respect to Shedeur Sanders after his impressive first half with the Cleveland Browns against the Panthers
Shedeur already has the King of Cleveland rooting for him.
Shedeur Sanders’ first pass of the preseason game against the Carolina Panthers was a drop by Diontae Johnson. After that moment, the Cleveland Browns rookie began to settle in and delivered a strong first half against Carolina.
Sanders went 11-for-18 for 103 yards and two passing touchdowns in the first half. He also added four runs for 19 yards and evaded pressure multiple times to help the Browns to a 14-7 halftime lead over Carolina.
Both of Sanders’ first-half touchdowns were highlight-reel connections to WR Kaden Davis, who is fighting for a roster spot in Cleveland — and certainly helped his case against Carolina.
LeBron James reacts to Shedeur Sanders’ performance against the Panthers
James, a known Browns fan, couldn’t help but react to what the rookie was doing after his second touchdown pass to Davis.
“That young [king] looking good out there! @ShedeurSanders Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high,” James posted on X.
Sanders has ignited the Browns fanbase in a preseason game and will undoubtedly be a talking point on sports shows next week after his first-half performance. It’s worth noting that the Panthers played their starters for a couple of drives, while the Browns rested nearly all of theirs.
The Colorado rookie’s NFL career is off to a strong start through one half of preseason football — and he’s already caught the attention of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
