Sanders' performance earned praise from many on social media. One of them was $170 million worth (as per Celebrity Net Worth), Hollywood star Jamie Foxx.

During the Browns vs Panthers game, Foxx shared a video on social media after the quarterbacks' first touchdown. In the clip, we see him praising Shedeur Sanders for his performance while calling out the critics and trolls of Coach Prime and his sons.

"He (Shedeur) the real deal," Foxx said. "Ay, now how y'all feel now? How y'all feel now? No matter what you do, how y'all fell now? That man played for his daddy. All you haters, If you hate Shedeur you hate football ... Deion Sanders, an absolute legend, an icon. Now his son, picking up the pace ... Big time Deion Sanders we love you."

Apart from Shedeur, the Browns also gave some playing time to Tyler Huntley. He was brought into the team as an extra pair of hands while Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel recover from their hamstring injuries.

Before the game, Coach Prime talked about his son's debut for the Browns during a press conference. He expressed confidence in Shedeur's ability to be successful at the professional level. Deion Sanders also stated that Shedeur's performance on Friday will make him a feared rookie in the league.
