Shedeur Sanders Should Be Browns’ Starting QB
Oct 10th
October 10, 2025, Boulder Channel 1 Sports The Cleveland Browns must name Shedeur Sanders their starting quarterback immediately, capitalizing on his elite talent and readiness, while in Boulder, his father Deion Sanders continues to elevate the Colorado Buffaloes with infectious energy and strategic vision. Shedeur’s 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors at Colorado—boasting a 74% completion rate, 4,134 yards, and 37 touchdowns—shattered school records and primed him for NFL stardom.
His Browns preseason debut against the Panthers (14-for-23, 138 yards, two TDs, plus 19 rushing yards) demonstrated seamless command. With Joe Flacco traded and Dillon Gabriel’s inconsistency evident, Shedeur’s poise (“I’m ready to play”) and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees’ endorsement of his preparation position him to galvanize Cleveland’s 1-4 squad. Back in Boulder, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders embodies resilience and leadership, returning to practice just 16 hours after recent surgery and declaring, “I’m going to be alright.” His $54 million, five-year extension reflects Colorado’s unwavering faith in his transformative impact.
Ahead of Saturday’s home clash with No. 22 Iowa State at Folsom Field, Deion exudes optimism: “We’re playing good football, except for a couple of quarters… We’re better than we’re playing.” The Buffs’ revamped roster, featuring Liberty transfer QB Kaidon Salter and a terrorizing defense, promises a more balanced, dynamic attack. Deion’s unorthodox style—fostering mentorship and high-energy vibes—has boosted fan engagement, TV ratings, and recruits like five-star Julian Lewis. With jerseys retired for stars like Shedeur and Heisman winner Travis Hunter, Boulder buzzes with pride. Deion’s vision keeps the Buffs charging forward, inspiring a program poised for sustained excellence.

This is what run deep mission is. “Run deep is a call to plumb your inner depths with running, to explore the breadth and the depth of running. By testing your limits in running speed or endurance, by expanding your breadth of running terrain, we believe your can illuminate your inner recesses and know yourself more deeply by running.
We believe running is a fundamental, universal human need – just like breathing, eating, companionship, and the need for stories and art. When we meet our fundamental needs, we become healthy in body, mind, and spirit. As a culture, when we collectively follow the truth of our humanity and find positive outlets for the expression of human nature, our community is made stronger and the quality of life is enhanced for everyone. Across cultures and borders, running is a reminder of how we are all deeply akin, despite having different lifestyles and beliefs.
The Run Deep Film Festival mission is this: to promote running through a community event centered on inspirational, informative, and entertaining films about running. We aim to inspire runners to explore their inner depths and appreciate the gift of running, and to inspire able non-runners to begin the inquiry, the healing, the adventure: to go out and run.”
