Tony Grossi called out by Shedeur Sanders after remarkable Browns preseason debut | Watch video

Shedeur Sanders, the Cleveland Browns’ fifth-round draft pick from Colorado, came into the spotlight in his NFL preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers. Despite limited time with the first-team offense during training camp, Sanders delivered a remarkable performance, completing 13 of 23 passes for 138 yards and throwing two touchdowns.

However, it was his off-field exchange with a Browns reporter, Tony Grossi, that grabbed headlines.

“The situations were invaluable for Shedeur and all of our offense,” Stefanski said.

“We got a third-and-1 where he had a quarterback sneak. I mean, there’s just a lot of football, and that’s by design with him getting a ton of reps in this game, and he’ll get a ton of reps next week as well. That’s all part of our development of our young players.”

“You always say negative stuff about me,” Sanders said.

“I didn’t do nothing to you. I’ve never seen you say anything positive about me.” The exchange, though pointed, ended with a laugh.

Grossi, in a surprising turn, gave Sanders credit in his analysis, “My bottom line on Shedeur Sanders’ impressive debut: He put the pressure on QB2 Kenny Pickett and QB3 Dillon Gabriel to get healthy and perform next week.”

Sanders’ debut has not only showcased his on-field talent but also his ability to handle the spotlight off the field. As he continues to develop, the young quarterback is proving he is ready to compete and confront any doubters along the way.
