Shedeur Sanders, I understand that today is your birthday, but this is not a “Happy Birthday” post. This is a message. We’ve given the NFL too much credit, and we’ve given Kevin Stefanski too much credit. God picked you….to have your character falsely attacked and assassinated by the national media in the months leading up to the draft. God picked you to be humiliated on national television in front of millions by falling out of the first round on draft day. God picked you to receive a prank call from the son of an Assistant Coach during the draft, which was a first in NFL HISTORY. God picked you to be drafted to a team where your Head Coach made it obvious from Day 1 that he did not want you. God picked you to be sabotaged, set up for failure, neglected, and abandoned by your Head Coach through OTA’s, training camp, and the first 10 weeks of the season. God picked you to have ESPN and other media outlets running false stories about poor practice habits, lacking the ability to comprehend NFL playbooks, and sitting in the back row during team meetings on national television. God picked you to go into your first NFL start with just 3 days of preparation. God picked you to lose six starters on offense shortly after becoming the starter. God picked you to have the media shoving microphones in your face on a weekly basis, and begging you to throw your coach under the bus for CLEARLY sabotaging your success. God picked you. He picked you because he believed that you would go through all of this with class. He picked you because he believed that you would go through all of this with grace. He picked you because he knew your character. He picked you because he knew the stuff that he had used to create you. He picked you because he believed that your faith would get you through all of this. Young fella, you didn’t bow. You did not break. You never threw your coach under the bus. You never attacked the media for their lies. You never made excuses when you were competing with 3rd stringers on a team where the 1st stringers were 2-8 when fully healthy before you. You passed each of these tests with flying colors. 98% of rookie QB’s would have snapped like Ryan Leaf, if faced with similar circumstances. You are now QB1. God will restore all that was lost. You will lead the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs NEXT YEAR, and God will receive the GLORY. Your 25th year on earth will be greater than all of the years that preceded it. So it is written, and so it shall be done. Selah
