Shedeur Sanders' 'Nicest Play' Revealed by Rival Coach After Browns QB's 1st NFL Win

Doric SamNov 24, 2025

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders produced many memorable moments in his first career start as he led the team to a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, but one play stood out above the rest.

The Athletic's Mike Sando spoke to a coach from another team who had high praise for Sanders' impressive deep pass in the first quarter of Sunday's game.

"The nicest play was the scramble against the unblocked blitzer for the 52-yard gain," the coach said. "He felt the pressure immediately and got away to his right, threw a nice ball without getting his feet set."

The dazzling play by Sanders even drew a viral reaction from Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett:

Sanders was 11-of-20 for 209 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's victory, becoming the first Browns quarterback since 1995 to win his first career start.

Sanders was starting in place of fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, who suffered a concussion last week. After the win, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski declined to name the starting quarterback for next Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

For now, it appears that it's Sanders' world, and the Browns could benefit from committing to him as the starter going forward.
