Shedeur Sanders hasn’t seen the field yet for the Cleveland Browns during the NFL regular season, but he’s keeping the faith he’ll one day get his shot as the starting quarterback. His dad Deion Sanders reacted to his son’s powerful post.

The Browns made a quarterback change from the veteran Joe Flacco, who would be shipped off to the Cincinnati BEngels after a 1-3 start, to Shedeur’s fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who won his first NFL game last week vs. the Miami Dolphins, got the nod over him.

The 5th-round pick Shedeur out of dad’s Colorado Buffaloes has remained positive, supporting Gabriel. His gotten a lot of family support, too. His brother even showed up to support him pretending to be Shedeur with the fans. While mom Pilar Sanders has repped him in some head-turning fits, she said she wouldn’t do this with her ex Deion in order for Shedeur to start in a hilarious exchange with Shilo.

Regardless, Shedeur still believes in his fate as a QB1. He took to X and wrote, “The greatest lesson I’ve learned through it all is not to worry but to lean on and trust GOD in every situation. Even when I don’t know what to do, I’ve learned that GOD will always guide me. I live stress-free because I know that, no matter what, GOD has the final say over my life. I’m able to persevere through trials because I come from a family built on morals, values, and unshakable principles. Growing up, I had access to a lot, and maybe without my understanding shaped my world view, but I’ve realized that peace, purpose, and faith can’t be bought. They have to be built. True success is who you become while waiting on GOD’s timing. GOD’s pace protects what your purpose will one day require.”
