Shedeur Sanders had enough start in his NFL career, and like his father, he was not shy when he called a journalist later.
Sanders launched for 138 yards and two touchdowns in his preseason debut of the Cleveland Browns against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night, which became the talk of the world of football.
In a YouTube video posted by his brother, Deion Sanders Jr., Shedeur was seen facing one of the best Browns reporters, Tony Grossi in ESPN, at the Bank of America Stadium. It was not an unpleasant interaction, although Sanders was sarcastic with the journalist.

“Tony, I hope you have something positive to say about me,” Sanders told Grossi. “You just say negative things about me. And I say: ‘I don’t do anything to you.’ I don’t see anything positive as you never say.”
Grossi’s response was not audible, although they shared a laugh later.
“What do I do? What did I do to you?” Sanders said as he moved away.
Grossi’s thoughts about Sanders were heard in ESPN Cleveland after the game.

“I thought Shedeur was outstanding,” Grossi said.
He also wrote that Sanders had “exerted pressure on QB2 Kenny Pickett and QB3 Dillon Gabriel to recover and work next week.”

The Browns will face the Philadelphia Eagles in their second preseason game next week, where chief coach Kevin Stefanski said that Sanders will get considerable repetitions.
Grossi has been critical of Sanders since the beginning of the Browns training field, but he is not the only one in the world of football.
The fall of Sanders on the NFL Draft board in April was shocking to say at least, since it went to the Browns with the 144th general selection. Since then, he has been criticized without even taking a click.
In the training camp, Sanders has had very limited representatives with the offensive of the first team, often working with the second and third team players as it takes place in the position.

But on Friday night the conversation changed with respect to the highly publicized rookie, and the Browns Campo Mariscal competition is heating how the NFL wanted. Of course, it is still Joe Flacco’s work, but as Grossi, Pickett and the rookie Gabriel said they have some pressure after what Sanders produced in Charlotte.
