Shedeur Sanders ‘erases’ Coach Prime and Tom Brady from his most special pick and breaks new ground

Article arrow_drop_down

Shedeur Sanders might have been a fifth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, but the attention surrounding the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback is anything but average. The son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders is under a spotlight that few rookies experience. Whether it’s his fall in the draft, his famous bloodline, or his confident demeanor, Sanders continues to captivate both Browns fans and national audiences.

One of the more intriguing details from his early days in Cleveland isn’t about playbooks or depth charts-it’s his jersey number. At Colorado, Sanders famously wore No. 2, a digit closely associated with his identity on the field.

However, that number was already claimed when he arrived in Cleveland. Instead of dwelling on it, he opted for No. 12.

When it was pointed out that No. 12 is the reverse of the iconic No. 21-worn by his father during his storied NFL career-Shedeur smiled, offering a response that underscored his emerging maturity and confidence.

Did the Chiefs Miss an Opportunity With Their Schedule Release Video?

“You get the hint – any number gonna feel good, it’s about what I do in the number,” he said.

A new number, but the same mindset

It’s a subtle but telling moment that reflects Shedeur Sanders‘ focus on carving out his own path. Though his lineage will always be part of his narrative, he’s clearly more interested in defining his career through production, not association.

His decision to embrace No. 12 and make it his own shows he’s not clinging to the past-he’s building something new.

Sanders was once projected as a first or second-round pick, so his slide to the fifth round shocked many. But if he carries any resentment, he hasn’t shown it. In fact, his calm and calculated approach-on and off the field-has already impressed Browns staff and players alike.

In a quarterback room that includes veterans like Deshaun Watson and young talents such as Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, Sanders faces stiff competition.

Still, his quiet poise, football IQ, and work ethic have made him one of the more intriguing players to watch heading into training camp.

Baltimore Orioles fire Brandon Hyde as manager amid dismal start

<!--> The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday after a dismal start to the season by a team coming off two consecutive playoff appearances.The Orioles are 15-28 and in last place in the AL East following a loss to Washington on Friday night. Hyde guided the team through an extensive rebuild and won manager of the year honors in 2023, but Baltimore’s performance slipped noticeably during the second half of last year, and the Orioles have put themselves in a significant hole so far in 2025."As the head of baseball operations, the poor start to our season is ultimately my responsibility," Orioles executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said in a statement. "Part of that responsibility is pursuing difficult changes in order to set a different course for the future. I want to thank Brandon for […]

Patriots 2025 NFL schedule: Observations, notable quirks, predictions for all 17 regular-season games

Getty Images The New England Patriots may be on the doorstep of finally crawling out of the basement in the AFC. After consecutive 4-13 seasons and failing to reach the playoffs in four of the last five years, things are looking up in Foxborough. This offseason, the Patriots brought in Mike Vrabel as head coach and went on a spending spree in free agency, which fetched the likes of defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Carlton Davis, among others. New England also solidified key areas of need in the NFL Draft, most notably selecting LSU left tackle Will Campbell No. 4 overall. All that paired alongside promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye at the helm, and the Patriots are suddenly a sleeper pick to reach the postseason in the AFC. Now, we know the exact path Vrabel's team will go […]
