Shedeur Sanders' signature celebration was copied by players in the NFL, NBA and WNBA in 2023

NBA legend LeBron James said that Shedeur Sanders was "looking good out there" as he made an impressive debut for the Cleveland Browns.

Sanders threw two touchdown passes in the Browns' pre-season opener, his first game since enduring the most dramatic draft slide in NFL history.

The 23-year-old quarterback was the initial favourite to be the first overall pick in this year's draft but slid to the fifth round, where he was taken 144th overall by Cleveland.

Sanders has been thrown into a four-way fight to be the Browns' starting quarterback this season and with rivals Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel carrying minor hamstring issues, he was named as starter for Friday's game at the Carolina Panthers.
