NFL rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders finally made his professional debut on the field, but that joy was short-lived when his team lost the game, and then he discovered that someone had gotten into his home while he was on the field.
According to Cleveland.com, Sanders’ house was broken into, but no information was made available on whether anything was taken. The Cleveland Browns’ quarterback discovered after the game, when he arrived home, that someone had gained entry. There are no reported suspects.
The Medina County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a crime had taken place in Granger Township, where Sanders lives.
Sadly, there has been a rash of break-ins at the homes of NFL players while they are at the stadium on game days. Recently, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, and New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan have been victims.
The season has not been an ideal situation for the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback. After being projected as a Top 3 NFL Draft Pick, he slipped to the fifth round and was selected as 155th overall. As a backup to another rookie, Dillon Gabriel, he entered the game after Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders was 4 of 16 for 47 yards, scoring no touchdowns and throwing one interception.
If Gabriel is kept out of the next game (against the Las Vegas Raiders) due to concussion protocol, Sanders is the most likely starter.
Sanders knows he did not play up to his potential and expressed that sentiment to ESPN.
“I don’t think I played good,” Sanders said. “I don’t think I played good at all. I think there’s a lot of things we need to look at during the week and go and just get comfortable with even throwing routes with [wide receiver] Jerry [Jeudy] and throwing routes with all those guys. I think that was my first ball to him all year. But other than that, I just think overall, we just got to go next week and understand, so that we have a week to prepare stuff I like to do.”
