At the time they were with the Cleveland Browns, and I want to be specific about that."At the time they were with the Cleveland Browns, I think neither of them was ready for the stardom and the rollercoaster ride that being a quarterback with the Cleveland Browns comes with the way that this guy is.”After his impressive debut on Friday, Sanders crossed paths with Grossi in the tunnel of Bank of America Stadium.
