Shedeur Sanders faced a challenging start to his NFL career as the Cleveland Browns fell 23-16 to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. This game marked the debut for the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, but the rookie quarterback struggled to meet the high expectations tied to his family name.
Fans quickly took to social media to compare Sanders to Bronny James, son of NBA star LeBron James, as both young athletes faced scrutiny during their initial performances. One fan humorously referred to Sanders with his father”s nickname, while another labeled him as the worst quarterback in the league.
Despite the rocky start, Sanders will have another chance to demonstrate his skills on November 23 when the Browns face the Las Vegas Raiders.
On a different note, Bronny James recently secured his second start for the Los Angeles Lakers in a 119-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The sophomore guard is enjoying increased playing time this season compared to his rookie year, reflecting the trust Coach JJ Redick has in his abilities.
Currently, James is averaging 11.9 minutes per game, a significant increase from the 6.7 minutes he recorded in his debut season. However, his scoring has not seen a corresponding rise, as he is averaging just 2.0 points per game. Nevertheless, his playmaking and defensive contributions have improved, with statistics showing 1.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game, up from 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals last year.
LeBron James” ongoing battle with a sciatica injury has opened up more opportunities for his son on the court, as the four-time NBA champion has yet to play this season while he focuses on rehabilitation.
For fans of the Lakers, there are resources available for the latest updates on the team”s depth chart, schedule, and roster.
