NFL fans rip Shedeur Sanders’ “next level ego” over viral photoshoot

Shedeur Sanders is preparing for the 2026 season in a big way. The Cleveland Browns quarterback had a photoshoot that involved a driveway filled with his No. 12 jersey.

Football X account Dov Kleiman posted a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot. NFL fans had quite the reaction.

A fan said, “He’s the Bronny James of football.”

Another added, “Browns though. Aura lost.”

One wrote, “Next level ego. This is how you prepare for the upcoming season?”

Some fans weren’t as dismissive.

One said, “He’s one of a kind!”

Another added, “I dont get why everyone is mad at him for his confidence. That man believe in himself. Everyone should try to do the same thing.”

One chipped in, saying, “Greatest player to ever wear the Browns uniform? 🤔”

Dov Kleiman added that Shedeur Sanders is already one of the faces of football. It comes after the former Colorado Buffaloes star amassed a stat line of 1,400 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in eight games as a rookie.

Furthermore, it’s important to note that Sanders wore the No.12 jersey during the 2025 season. He’s now switched to his preferred No. 2 following the departure of DeAndre Carter. Both Sanders and the Browns have leaned into the number change in their offseason content creation.

Shedeur Sanders and Cleveland Browns aiming for bounce-back season

Shedeur Sanders has been a winning quarterback for the majority of his competitive career. Sanders excelled at high school and college. He ended his collegiate football career as the recipient of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award while placing eighth in Heisman Trophy voting.

Sanders was initially projected to be an early first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft. However, he slipped into the Cleveland Browns‘ lap in the fifth round. He went on to appear in eight games as a rookie to mixed results.

Sanders is currently in a QB1 competition with former perennial Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson. Watson has way more experience, but he’s recovering from a serious Achilles injury. The quarterback duo has been locked in throughout the offseason.

Next up for Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns is an all-important 2026 campaign. Coach Prime’s son will look to guide the franchise to the playoffs for the first time since the 2023 season. He’ll have his work cut out under new coach Todd Monken and without franchise legend Myles Garrett, who’s been traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
