Shedeur Sanders made his NFL debut on Sunday as he came in for Dillon Gabriel after the Cleveland Browns starter suffered a concussion. The intensely covered and scrutinized fifth-round pick did not immediately set the Earth on fire, struggling to a 4-for-16 performance with 47 yards and an interception as the Baltimore Ravens were able to claw back and captured a 23-16 victory.
It's not completely shocking to see a quarterback that started No. 3 on his team's depth chart this season struggle when thrown into action for the very first time. Because it's Sanders, though, there was extra attention paid to his every move on and off the field. The rookie's decision to sit by himself on the bench after defeat became final—and not greet Lamar Jackson for a handshake—may be nothing but it may also become a thing.
