The football world was fascinated by the Shedur Sanders’ Forsy Season debut with Cleveland Browns Friday night as he shone in the 30-10 win over Carolina Panthers.
For supporters of Sanders, as actor and singer Jamie Foxx, it was also a moment to take a shot on all Brown’s rookies haters.
FOXX channeled its iconic “Friday Night Lights” role of ‘Steamin’ Willie Boy in a social media video when he saw Sanders cut Panthers’ defense into 138 yards and two touchdowns.

“I hear what you say. My name is Willie – Willie Boy!” Foxx began its rant. “Hi, he the real appointment. It comes from Willie. How are you feeling now? How are you feeling now? Whatever he is doing, how are you now? The man who plays for his father.
“All of you haters, if you hate to shoot, you hate football. How can you not love that story? Deion Sanders, absolutely playful. Icon. Now his son is picking up the pace that throws out.”

Foxx concluded his video by shouting Deion Sanders out, Shedeur’s Hall of Fame Father, who also praised his son’s performance on Friday night.
“Yes Lawd! Yes! @Shedursander,” Coach Prime said at X, when he saw his son go 14-for-23 in an effective evening that had many who gave him his flowers to start his NFL career.

“God is so good!” The older Sanders added on X.
After the match, head coach Kevin Stefanski told the media that he will feed Sanders “A ton of rep again next week” when Browns goes to Philadelphia Eagles for their second competition on the forecast.
Sanders started partially for Browns because Kenny Pickett and the third round of Pick Dillon Gabriel both deal with hamstring damage. With 40-year-old Joe Flacco, the supposed week 1 starter that doesn’t fit, Sanders got nodded and got the best out of the situation despite getting a few first-team representatives at training camp so far.

After the game, Sanders said he was not too happy with his own performance and said he has more to work on. But it’s not like the rest of the league fans see the situation.
Sanders started off a good start to his career on tape, and although he wants to build it, praise comes in hop time.
