Cleveland Browns' Shedeur Sanders Graduates From Colorado, Re-Creates Deion Photo

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders graduated from college this weekend.

Sanders got a sociology degree from Colorado.

"What's up? We at graduation," Sanders said. "It's called excellence, man. It's excellence."

Sanders also re-created an iconic image of his father, Deion, who laid out his uniform in the locker room before Super Bowl XXIX.

This time, Shedeur laid out his cap and gown.

Shedeur finished his rookie season with 1,400 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 169 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He went 3-4 as a starter.

Shedeur was named to the Pro Bowl in 2025 as a replacement selection. He's one of the most popular players in the NFL because of who his dad is.

Shedeur, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel will compete for the Browns' starting QB spot next season. Most people who cover the NFL believe Shedeur or Watson will win the job.

"Well, this is the most important thing I have to do in my life," Shedeur said at Browns' voluntary minicamp. I have a house here. I'm comfortable and I wanted to take everything to the next level within myself. I know with some things that I wanted to improve and I took a lot of time to self-reflect and just do a lot of things just from a different perspective, honestly. And I think I covered a lot of ground with that."

Cleveland went 5-12 last season. Todd Monken replaces Kevin Stefanski, who was fired and joined the Atlanta Falcons as their new HC.

According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Watson is the front-runner for the starting spot. However, if Shedeur plays well in training camp and in the preseason, he could overtake Watson.
