Shedeur Sanders made full use of his first start for the Cleveland Browns, guiding his team to a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12 on Sunday. Sanders became the first rookie quarterback in Browns history to win his first career start since the team's reactivation in 1999.
Sanders got appreciation for his excellent starting debut for the Browns. Even Tristan Thompson, who was teammates with LeBron James during their time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, expressed his thoughts on Sanders.
"Always a great Sunday when the Browns get a victory. Way to play Shedeur Sanders," Thompson tweeted on Sunday.
Sanders went 11 of 20 for 209 yards with one touchdowns and one interceptions against the Raiders. His strong outing also put an end to Cleveland's three-game losing streak.
Thompson was a part of the Cavaliers team that won the NBA league in 2016. He has also represented for the Boston Celtics, Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers.
As of now, Thompson is a free agent. He played the past two seasons with the Cavaliers.
Browns remain silent on QB1 after Shedeur Sanders' great outing against Raiders
The Cleveland Browns have not revealed their starting quarterback for Week 13. Sanders got the start against the Raiders since rookie Dillon Gabriel did not clear the concussion protocols.
However, the Browns have to pick who will guide their offense against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Sanders was happy to get his first start and said that he was looking forward to more first-team practice sessions.
“It’s amazing ... after one week of practice,” Sanders said during his postgame interview with CBS Sports. “This is one week of practice. So imagine what a full offseason looks like ... it gets dangerous. I’m just truly thankful that everything happened.”
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has tough call to make for Week 13 around his QB1.
