September is over, and Shedeur Sanders is still waiting for his first NFL game. Criticism is building up, and the NFL HC Rex Ryan is the latest one to spit fire. But the Browns QB’s father, Deion Sanders, is standing behind his son’s quest, and he isn’t letting anyone slide. It happened on his latest move.

Trying to keep the situation light, Shedeur Sanders issued his first reply to Ryan as he said, “I’m trying to walk outside phil; I’m going outside, whatsup bruh, ay bros stay focused bro stay focused, trust the process, (something something) no laughing no smiling.” In such short words, he said everything.

He aimed at the Buffaloes alumni and said, “This kid talks and he runs his mouth. Like he said, ‘I can be a starting quarterback’… Get your a** in the front row and study and do all that… Quit being an embarrassment that way. You’ve got the talent to be the quarterback, you should be. You should be embarrassed that you’re not the quarterback now.” It was pretty mean. But since commenting, Ryan has been getting flak from all the Sanders family members.

Shedeur Sanders’ mother, Pilar, also hit back at the noted NFL coach. She went straight to Instagram and wrote, “To young Athletes and Football fans… This is what imp-ent, cancerous, envious energy looks like.What and who does he really represent? There’s no room for this type in sports. Please (be quiet emoji)… Tsk tsk tsk… Enuff!” It was fiery. But she also deleted it later. Was it an outburst too much? Maybe!

However, it’s clear that Shedeur Sanders is struggling with the Browns. HC Kevin Stefanski tried to ignore the question about the rookie by saying he (QB) was not in his (HC’s) focus. So, there are plenty of doubts about when he will start or play for the AFC North franchise.

Shedeur Sanders brings a smile to his father’s face

It came after his mime interview went viral, in which he could be seen smiling in the Browns’ locker room. But no one could hear a word as it was muted. Yet the fans found a moment worth laughing. The biggest smile of them all was on the face of Deion Coach Prime Sanders.

He commented on the video, “

Good 1 son. You did that.” The family support is present and helping him get through thick and thin. And it becomes a lot more crucial as Shedeur Sanders is dealing with all the scenarios alone, by himself.

Even earlier in the offseason, he stopped his father from coming to the practice as he did not want to put any heritage connotation to it. But the fans are watching his every move. Coming back to the mime video, it was his way of getting back at Rex Ryan. When asked about the Browns benching the veteran starter Joe Flacco and starting Oregon rookie Dillon Gabriel , Sanders replied with a mime.

He showed Ryan that he was not ‘all talk, no show.’ In fact, now that he hasn’t said a word out loud, everyone is making their own assumptions. Yet, looking at the situation at the Browns, he might not get the chance to answer with his performance soon. Shedeur Sanders is still 3rd on their QB depth chart. But the laugh indicated one thing. Everything’s good. Outside noise is not bothering him at all.
