After President Donald Trump’s recent praise for Shedeur Sanders’ first NFL start win, the Cleveland Browns quarterback expressed gratitude for the president’s support. Sanders’ NFL career has been a rollercoaster from the beginning, but Trump’s backing has been a constant source of encouragement. Trump initially criticized NFL owners for overlooking Sanders during the draft, and after the rookie quarterback’s first professional victory, the president gave a clear indication that his words were prophetic.
Sanders, a 23-year-old with a storied college background under his belt, has taken notice of the public affirmation Trump has provided. During an interview with reporters, Sanders mentioned his appreciation for the president’s continued advocacy.
