Shedeur Sanders has entered a new era of his football career with the Cleveland Browns. And the excitement is here for the rookie quarterback, he will wear the No. 12 jersey to begin his rookie NFL season. Previously, while playing for the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders used to wear the No. 2 jersey. But presently, the newly added wide receiver for the Browns, DeAndre Carter, wears the No. 2 jersey that Shedeur Sanders wore during his college days.

Jersey No. 12 holds a lot of significance for Shedeur Sanders, starting with his dad, Deion Sanders, widely known as “Prime Time,” wore No. 21 during his NFL days, during his tenures with the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Redskins.

Travis Hunter, the two-way star and a Heisman Trophy winner, wore No. 12 at Colorado.

Additionally, Shedeur Sanders’s close mentor, Tom Brady, Most Super Bowl MVPs in NFL history, famously wore No. 12.

Shedeur Sanders Rookie Roll Call

With Phase Two, the offseason program continues with on-field workouts limited to individual group instructions and drills. This phase includes the rookie minicamp, too, starting from May 9. The Browns stated that the 2025 draft class will all be in the building, and at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus on the field, with their Browns jerseys.

Although the statement mentions that the “Jersey numbers are subject to change during the offseason before the beginning of the 2025 season.”

Coming back to the star Sanders, he was seen getting involved in his community sooner rather than later. At John Marshall High School in Cleveland, he met with the students in the cafeteria to answer their curiosity that was more than 15 minutes, also having a closed training session at the school’s football field.

“I’m trying to bring Cleveland a Super Bowl!” he said. “But off the field, I want to bring more hope and positivity to the city, and connecting with young people is one of the best ways to do that.”

As Shedeur Sanders continues to chase greatness on the field, his presence off the field is already proving to be a powerful force for change in Cleveland.
