Shedeur Sanders is determined to do whatever he can to become a starting quarterback in this league. Early returns on his performance in training camp have been very positive. For Cleveland’s first pre-season game, Sanders really took it to the next level with an outstanding performance against the Carolina Panthers.
In light of all this news, some NFL executives are facing some horrible accusations.

Shedeur Sanders made an impressive preseason debut for the Cleveland Browns on Friday night, which led Skip Bayless to make a racial assertion:
Bayless was quick to scold teams who passed on the former Colorado Buffaloes standout during the draft, allowing him to fall to the fifth round to the Browns. Cleveland made the pick even after trading down in the first round to select defensive tackle Mason Graham and already selecting Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round.
“Tonight, Shedeur Sanders made the entire National Football League look like a whole bunch of petty fools and, in some cases, racist fools. In many cases, Deion (Sanders)-despising fools,” Bayless said in a video. “Tonight at Carolina, Shedeur Sanders made all those teams that had 143 chances to draft him before he went 144, he shamed all of them, including the Cleveland Browns, who finally took him in the fifth round.”
Bayless didn’t elaborate on how Sanders’ performance made the league look like “racist fools.” But he was adamant that he was behind the quarterback all along.

“It was the biggest disgrace in the history of the National Football League that somehow the sheep-think NFL wanted to teach Shedeur, and in turn Deion, a lesson for how he interviewed, how he carried himself, how he was the highest-paid NIL college player ever,” Bayless continued.
Sanders making the roster still isn’t set in stone as there are four quarterbacks vying for a roster spot with Deshaun Watson on the injured reserve.
But his performance against the Carolina Panthers got him off to a good start. He had two touchdown passes and 138 passing yards in the win.
