The Cleveland Browns are in the middle of a battle against the San Francisco 49ers. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders made an incredible play and NBA superstar LeBron James reacted to it.
On his X profile, LeBron James said, “Helluva read and pass 12! Keep going!” While LeBron is a basketball player, he is an avid fan of football and even played tight end as a young prospect. He is now rooting for Shedeur Sanders to beat the 49ers and establish himself as the QB1 of James’ hometown team.
In the final seconds of the second quarter, Sanders received a snap from the shotgun formation, planted his foot and stepped forward to throw an absolute dot to rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. for a touchdown.
Sanders is showing plenty of promise
While still a very raw prospect, Sanders has given the Browns a new dimension. Before he was appointed as QB1, the Browns had little to no explosive plays. Dillon Gabriel is not capable of slinging it as Shedeur.
Shedeur will miss wide open looks, but his upside is much better and he is not afraid to throw it downfield. He will make mistakes, but he will also create big plays, and the Browns should be fine with that.

The Browns have a very good team to join Sanders
While the Browns don’t have an incredible wide receiver room, the wideouts are more than capable. They have one of the best tight end duos in the NFL with Fannin and David Njoku. Also, a great rookie running back like Quinshon Judkins.
As for the defense, it’s one of the best defenses in the NFL guided by the very aggressive defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Also, they have Hall of Fame talent defensive end Myles Garrett wrecking havoc weekly. If Sanders develops into a good quarterback, this is a playoff team.
