Shedeur Sanders is already enduring himself to the Cleveland community.
Students at John Marshall High School got a big surprise Wednesday morning when the newly drafted Browns quarterback visited the school’s campus and delivered an inspiring message to scholar-athletes.
Students were shocked when Sanders walked into the cafeteria, where he answered their questions for over 15 minutes.
Sanders told students to stay focused, make good decisions, and listen to their parents and mentors.
“I’m trying to bring Cleveland a Super Bowl!” Saunders told the students.
“But off the field, I want to bring more hope and positivity to the city, and connecting with young people is one of the best ways to do that.”
