Shedeur Sanders Mic'd Up Video from Epic NFL Preseason Debut Released by Browns

Shedeur Sanders looked sharp in his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns, and the rookie quarterback's live audio during the team's 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers was released in a YouTube video on Monday.

Sanders started under center and played into the third quarter against the Panthers, finishing 14-of-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns without tossing an interception. He also rushed for 19 yards on four attempts.

After Sanders left the game, he was seen having a conversation with Browns star pass-rusher Myles Garrett and asking him for advice on the sidelines (10:50 mark).

It was an impressive performance from the 2025 fifth-round pick and could earn him more playing time moving forward in the preseason, as he was listed as the Browns' No. 4 quarterback on their first unofficial depth chart.

"Even though it's a preseason game, typically people don't take those too much serious, but that's our Super Bowl," Sanders said afterwards, via CBS Sports' Cody Nagel. "That's each and every player's Super Bowl. ... You have to be able to go to war with each and every guy and understand we're not playing for ourselves here, we're playing for each other. So, not making selfish mistakes, not doing that type of stuff, getting through reads, handing the ball off, doing what you got to do."

The 23-year-old reportedly isn't viewed as Cleveland's Week 1 starter and will still have some work to do in order to gain an edge over Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel in the team's position battle.

Gabriel and Pickett didn't play against Carolina due to hamstring injuries, while Flacco was held out of the contest given his veteran status.

Browns head coach wasn't certain if Sanders would receive another preseason start when speaking to reporters on Monday.

Still, it's hard to call the former Colorado standout's NFL debut anything other than encouraging.
