Being an NFL player means the season doesn’t slow down even when you are trying to celebrate the holidays with your family, as Shedeur Sanders showed on Thanksgiving.
In the latest video on his YouTube channel (starts at 4:40 mark), Shilo Sanders trolled his brother for studying film at the table before they sat down to eat their holiday meal on Thursday.
“Look at him, studying his plays and what not before his big game,” Shilo said in a joking manner. “What a good boy, studying your plays so coach Stefanski don’t get mad. ‘Stefanksi, I even study my plays on Thanksgiving.'”
When the family stopped to do their Thanksgiving prayer before eating, Shilo also jokingly asked for God’s help to let Shedeur throw for 500 yards against the San Francisco 49ers along with a roster spot alongside his brother:
Thursday did give players on the 26 teams not playing an opportunity to settle down for a brief moment, but the weekend is still looming with everyone working to get ready for the test ahead of the them.
Shedeur will be making his second career start on Sunday against the 49ers. He won first start in Week 12, leading the Browns to a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The win made Shedeur the first Cleveland quarterback to win his first career start since Eric Zeier beat the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 29, 1995.
Despite that historic moment, Shedeur made it clear on Wednesday he’s “not comfortable” feeling like he has settled into a situation and will keep working to grow each week.
That was on display when Sanders briefly stopped celebrating the holiday with his family to work on getting ready for his first career home start this weekend against a 49ers team fighting to make the playoffs in the NFC.
