Deion Sanders Supports Son Shedeur at Browns Training Camp
BEREA, Ohio — The spotlight on Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders grew even brighter during the second day of training camp, with a familiar figure drawing plenty of attention from the sidelines.
​
Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders made the trip to Berea to support his son as the Browns continued their highly anticipated quarterback competition. Although "Coach Prime" declined to speak with reporters, his presence sent a clear message of support as he watched practice, spent time with members of Cleveland's coaching staff, and observed Shedeur's continued development.
​
Shedeur Sanders received significant reps with the first-team offense during Thursday's practice, another indication that the rookie is earning opportunities in what remains an open battle for the starting quarterback job. His steady progression has become one of the early storylines of Browns training camp as coaches continue evaluating each passer.
​
Head coach Todd Monken reiterated that every quarterback is being given a fair opportunity to compete, emphasizing that the coaching staff will continue rotating players and evaluating performances throughout camp before making any decisions.
​
With one of football's most recognizable figures watching from the sidelines, Shedeur Sanders remained focused on the task at hand—continuing to prove he belongs as the Browns search for their next starting quarterback. As training camp progresses, every practice and every rep will carry added importance in one of the NFL's most closely watched quarterback competitions.
Until next time, have some fun and get something done.

Rookie wide receivers show out, linebacker corps impresses on Day 3
Fans were back at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on Friday for the Browns' first of nine open practice sessions.
With the increased energy in the building, T Dawand Jones used the opportunity to hype up the crowd in between drills.
The excitement translated to some big plays. Head coach Todd Monken explained, before practice, the plan for Friday was to work on third and extra-long situations along with three level routes and no-huddle work.
​
The Browns rotated through the wide receiver unit on the long passing downs and more developing routes, while the linebacker room stepped up on Day 3.
Quarterbacks push the ball down the field
QB Deshaun Watson was back with the first team on Friday as the Browns continue to rotate reps between him and QB Shedeur Sanders.
​
Watson connected with WR Denzel Boston on a deep pass by the boundary towards the end of an 11-on-11 period as the Browns worked on third and extra-long scenarios. In 7-on-7, Watson rolled to his left and found WR Gage Larvadain for a big gain. Similar to Day 2, the Browns practiced multiple designed quarterback runs with Watson during 11-on-11 play.
Sanders, similar to Watson, threw the ball down the field on Friday more than any other day so far. The second-year quarterback found Boston deep down the sidelines for a 35-yard gain during 7-on-7 work. Sanders and Boston teamed up once again on a route over the middle of the field during the late 11-on-11 period.
​
Wide receiver room rotates while rookies impress
The Browns cycled through six wide receivers during single-field 11-on-11 work on Friday. WR Isaiah Bond, WR KC Concepcion and WR Jerry Jeudy worked with the first team offense, while Boston, WR Jamari Thrash and WR Tylan Wallace ran routes with the second team.
During two-spotting 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods, Boston and Concepcion worked with Sanders and QB Taylen Green, while Bond and Jeudy took reps with Watson and Gabriel, which has been consistent on all three days of camp so far.
​
With the Browns throwing the ball down the field more on Friday, the rookie wide receivers full skillsets were on display.
Boston showcased his vertical and jump-ball ability on his catch from Sanders during 7-on-7. The second-round pick made three catches of 10 or more yards down the field on Day 3 of camp. On the connection with Sanders during 11-on-11, Boston gained a couple yards of separation on the route.
​
Concepcion picked up right where he left on Friday, making a leaping grab from Sanders during 7-on-7. The first-round pick lined up in the slot in three wide receiver sets with the first-team offense during single-field 11-on-11.
In the short and intermediate game, Bond made multiple grabs. The Browns also used Bond on screen passes during 11-on-11 towards the end of practice.

LeBron James has already claimed nearly every major milestone the NBA has to offer. Now, his move to the Philadelphia 76ers could put another chapter of league history within reach.
James recently signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the 76ers, calling it his “last decision.” As he prepares for a record-setting 24th NBA season at age 41, a new analysis from RotoGrinders found the four-time NBA champion could either extend or break 10 significant league records during the 2026-27 campaign.
​
Some of those marks will grow the moment James steps on the floor. He will become the first player to appear in 24 NBA seasons after breaking Vince Carter’s previous record of 22. He also continues to add to his all-time record for regular-season minutes after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career total in 2024.
​
Scoring milestones could soon follow. James has averaged at least 20 points in every season of his career, meaning another 20-point campaign would stretch that streak to 24 straight years. He also owns the NBA record with 672 career 30-point games, edging Michael Jordan’s 671, and every high-scoring performance widens that gap.
​
Even in his 40s, James continues to accomplish feats no player his age has matched. He already holds the records as the oldest player to score 40 points in a game and the oldest to record a triple-double. Only James and Jordan have scored 40 or more after turning 40. He also owns the league record for the most missed field goals, a statistic that reflects the extraordinary volume of shots required to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
​
The biggest milestones, however, hinge on what happens next spring.
If Philadelphia wins the NBA championship, James would become the first player to capture titles with four different franchises. He could also become the first player to earn Finals MVP honors with four teams while replacing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the oldest Finals MVP in league history. A championship would also end the 76ers’ title drought, which dates to 1983, when Julius Erving and Moses Malone led the franchise to its last NBA crown.
​
According to RotoGrinders, the coming season offers James another opportunity to expand a résumé that already stands among the greatest in basketball history.
