Sanders made his professional football debut on Friday night against the Carolina Panthers in a preseason matchup where he didn't shy away from his moment. His first touchdown came at the start of the second quarter, when Sanders connected with wide receiver Kaden Davis on a seven-yard pass. Sanders replayed the same outcome toward the end of the second quarter, reconnecting with Davis on a 12-yard pass. Sanders' first bit of NFL action was the buzz on social media, garnering reactions from figures such as his father and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. 🤷🏾‍♂️ — LeBron James (@KingJames) August 9, 2025Super happy for @ShedeurSanders!
