Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, made his first post after Shedeur Sanders made his Cleveland Browns and NFL debut.
Sanders came in relief of Dillon Gabriel on Sunday, who was in concussion protocol. Sanders had struggled in the outing as it was his first snaps with the first-team offense. Although it wasn’t the performance that Sanders wanted, it was his first career NFL snaps.
Now, on Monday, Coach Prime took to social media to share his first post since his son in Shedeur made his NFL debut.
“We must acknowledge all that GOD does & say Thank you,” Sanders wrote on X. “From waking us up to allowing us to sleep wonderfully, Lord we thank u. Thank u for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve brought us through & everyday we get the opportunity to glorify u. Thank you. #CoachPrime.”
Coach Prime has yet to officially comment on his thoughts on Shedeur’s performance, but he will likely be asked about this week at Colorado.
However, Deion has made it clear his focus is on coaching the Colorado Buffaloes, but he will be rooting for his son to have success.
In his first NFL game, Sanders was 4-of-16 for 47 yards and an interception.
Sanders ‘Thankful’ for the Support of Browns Fans
Cleveland’s offense had been a problem all season, and fans began calling for Sanders to enter the game.
On Sunday, with Gabriel in concussion protocol, he entered the game to a massive cheer from Browns fans. Fans were cheering after every completion as they were thrilled to see Sanders.
Following the game, Sanders said he was thankful for all the support from the fans.
“Yeah, I’m extremely thankful. Well, first, let me say this,” Sanders said after the game on Sunday. “When Dillon out there playing and all that, I appreciate the fans. I appreciate everybody, but I’m a good person overall, so I don’t really like him not feeling comfortable, confident when he get out there. So it puts everything in a tough spot, and it’s not helping the team. So, that could be taken as, ‘okay, I’m being a distraction’, even though I ain’t doing that, even though I’m not doing nothing.
“But I’m thankful for the supporters, thankful for the fans, thankful for everybody out there that believes. And yeah, when I got out there, I definitely felt them, and I’m truly thankful for it. I’m just thankful that I’m out here, I’m thankful for the opportunity. Thankful seeing all them 12 jerseys out there, and it was a great feeling for that, but the feeling of losing, that ain’t nothing we going to get comfortable with, like, on my watch, for sure.”
If Gabriel isn’t cleared, Sanders is in line to start on Sunday when the Browns go on the road to play the Las Vegas Raiders.
Stefanski Believes There Are Things to ‘Clean Up’ for Sanders
Sanders was thrown into the game after halftime, and it was the first time he was playing with the first-team offense.
With that, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski knew it was a tough spot for the rookie. But the coach believes there are positives from it, but also things to clean up.
“Yeah, obviously all players, we’ll look at it, but he’s going to battle like he does,” Stefanski said. “So, I’m sure there’s things that we can clean up, but those are things we’ll look at tomorrow.”
If Sanders does start on Sunday, he will have a full week with the first-team offense to find chemistry.
