However, in a recent post on Coach Prime’s Instagram, we heard how the quarterback has dealt with the situation. His answer and perspective were nothing short of admirable.

“I mean, you just gotta step back and look at life. Like you’re in a great situation overall, and that you’re able to be healthy. And, you know, that’s one thing going through — you know even with my brother going through with injury and my pops and everybody in the family — like you value life, and you value opportunity and just waking up every day a different way,” the Browns draftee said.
“…So that’s kind of it’s nothing for me to really — no matter what, ” Sanders revealed.
His perspective on the whole situation was admirable, so much so that fans all over the comment section of Deion Sanders’ video appreciated Shedeur’s remarks.
His dedication to the team has also been nothing short of impressive. Irrespective of the skepticism that often accompanies the players who slide in the draft, his entry into the Browns’ rookie minicamp was exceptional.
