Shedeur Sanders Speaks Out After Mother Retracts Criticism of Former Coach: ‘I Stand on My Own’
Shedeur Sanders, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has addressed the recent uproar following his mother’s harsh remarks about a former head coach, which were later retracted. Despite the public attention and criticisms labeling him as a “disgrace,” Sanders made it clear that his focus remains on his own performance and leading the team.
“I hear all the talk, but I stand on my own,” Sanders said firmly. “I’m here to play football, help my team win, and improve every day. I don’t need outside opinions or distractions—my job is to focus on what I can control, and that’s my performance and my leadership on the field.”
Sanders’ Perspective: ‘I Won’t Be Defined by Noise’
Sanders emphasized that external criticism, even from family-related controversies, will not dictate his mindset. “People will say what they want, but I won’t let it define me,” he said. “I’ve got too much to prove to myself and my teammates. I know who I am and what I’m capable of, and that’s what matters.”
The Browns’ quarterback is committed to demonstrating his value through his actions rather than engaging in the surrounding drama.
Focus on the Team: ‘We Keep Moving Forward’
Sanders’ priority remains on the field and the team’s success. “We don’t get caught up in distractions,” he said. “This is about the Browns, the guys I play with, and making sure we execute and win games. That’s all I’m focused on. Everything else is noise.”
Looking Ahead: ‘I’ll Let My Play Speak for Itself’
As Sanders prepares for upcoming matchups, his approach is clear: perform, lead, and prove himself. “I’ll let my play speak for itself,” he said. “I’m not here to entertain drama or explain myself to everyone. My focus is winning and helping my team succeed, and that’s where my energy goes.”
With a strong mindset and determination to rise above controversy, Sanders is sending a message that his leadership and performance will define his career, not the opinions or actions of others.
