From Fifth-Rrounder to Pro Bowler: Shedeur Sanders Embraces the Moment

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders—son of Deion—surprised many by earning a Pro Bowl invite after a volatile rookie season. While the Pro Bowl is largely ceremonial, Sanders treats the moment as a chance to prove he’s more than his name. The invite came after AFC quarterbacks injuries and Trevor Lawrence opting out; Sanders spent the week around top players like Michael Vick and intends the appearance as a launchpad toward a longer NFL career, especially with a new head coach in 2026.
