Shedeur Sanders to Start for Browns; Deion’s Attendance Uncertain

UPDATE: Shedeur Sanders is set to make his highly anticipated first career NFL start for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, November 26, 2023, against the Las Vegas Raiders. After a challenging debut last week against the Baltimore Ravens, where he completed only 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards, Sanders aims for a much stronger performance this time.

As excitement builds around his debut, questions swirl about whether his father, Deion Sanders, will attend the game. Currently the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion’s team faces No. 25 Arizona State at home on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. ET. This tight schedule raises speculation about his plans to support Shedeur in person.

When asked if he would travel to see his son play, Deion shared his indecision: “I don’t know. I haven’t made up my mind yet. I’ve been urged to go. I’m pretty sure he wants me to go. You know how you want to be out of the way. You don’t want to be his distraction.”

Despite the uncertainty, the emotional weight of a father’s presence during such a pivotal moment in Shedeur’s career is clear. Deion added, “You start thinking that as a dad. Because you know what it would mean to him if he just gets a glimpse of you before he walks out.” The bond between them, highlighted by their success at both Jackson State and Colorado, adds a personal touch to this weekend’s events.

Fans are eager to see how Shedeur will perform following his rocky start. With high expectations and the potential for a father-son moment that could inspire both players and fans, this game is shaping up to be not just a match-up, but a significant milestone in Shedeur’s career.

As kickoff approaches, all eyes will be on the Browns and their rookie quarterback. Will Deion make the trip? Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
