I made it in my third year. But he made it in his first year, so he&#8217;s got that over me right now.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Sanders was named to the Pro Bowl earlier this week as a replacement for New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who is on his way to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;Thank you God,&#8221; Sanders\u00a0<a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25369806-shedeur-sanders-added-nfl-pro-bowl-roster-after-rookie-season-browns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">said<\/a>\u00a0in a statement. &#8220;I&#8217;m beyond excited and extremely grateful for all the love and support from the coaches, players, and fans. This wouldn&#8217;t be possible without the support behind me. Still plenty of work to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Sanders didn&#8217;t exactly have the rookie season he&#8217;d hoped to. After sliding to the fifth round in the NFL draft, Sanders didn&#8217;t make his NFL debut until November when he came in for an injured Dillon Gabriel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Soon after, he was named the starter for the remainder of the season. He played eight games, throwing for 1,400 yards, eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Browns went 3-4 with Sanders starting under center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The Pro Bowl nod surprised some after a bit of a shaky year, but it nonetheless gave him bragging rights over his father and former coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">He now has some work to do to chase his father&#8217;s other accomplishments, though, as Deion Sanders earned eight Pro Bowl bids, six First-team All-Pro honors and won a pair of Super Bowls.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders earned a Pro Bowl nod, his dad gave him props for doing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448514,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-448513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
