Deion Sanders says Shedeur told him not to visit Browns camp

BEREA — Shedeur Sanders wasn't ready for Prime Time … to visit.Deion "Prime Time" Sanders said Shedeur, his son and the rookie Browns quarterback, told him not to make the trip to Northeast Ohio to watch a training camp practice. Deion went to Tampa Bay's training camp July 24 to see son Shilo, a rookie safety.Training Camp Log, Day 5: More reps, more efficiency for Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders"Shedeur told me not to come," Deion said during an interview Monday with former Cowboys teammate and fellow Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin. "Let's get that out."He didn't want me to come. He was like, 'Dad, I may get three, four reps at practice, I don't want you seeing that. Come on. No, uh-huh, I'm not where I need to be. Let me get where I need to be.'"Sanders has gotten several repetitions every practice, including during simultaneous drills on a second field and in the extra "Hungry Dawg" post-practice period. But he's fourth on the Browns' depth chart — behind Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel — and has yet to take a repetition with the first-team offense. He's gotten some work with the second-teamers in the last couple of practices, including Monday when his reps increased with Pickett sidelined by a hamstring injury.Kevin Stefanski says Kenny Pickett will be back 'very quickly' and remains 'very, very much involved' in QB derby"And it's so funny because it's his first time, man, ever (not being No. 1), and he's dealing with it like a pro," Deion, the coach at Colorado, told Irvin. "He ain't mad, he ain't bitter, he's like, 'I've got work to do and I'm going to put in this work.'"Sanders has said multiple times he's grateful for the opportunity with the Browns, who selected him No. 144 in the fifth round after an unprecedented fall through the draft."So whenever that is, it is, but it doesn't make me feel down or it doesn't make me feel left out or anything because I know who I am as a person," he said last week. "I know who I am as an individual and I know what I could bring to this team. So I can never feel less than in any circumstance."While he's a long shot to win the starting job for Week 1, Sanders knows he'll get the chance to prove himself over the next month."'One thing, they're going to have to let me play. Preseason's going to come, and when preseason comes, watch me work,'" Deion said Shedeur told him. "I'm like, 'I already know what you're going to do. I ain't worried about that. I know.' But he didn't want me to come."Joe Flacco trying to keep turnovers down to win starting QB jobDeion, 57, announced Monday he recently had his bladder removed after doctors discovered an aggressive cancerous tumor. He said he didn't offer much detail on his health to Shedeur and Shilo during the process.The post Deion Sanders says Shedeur told him not to visit Browns camp first appeared on BrownsZone with Scott Petrak.
