Shedeur Sanders and Myles Garrett: A Fun Conversation Ignites Social Media After Cleveland Browns' Preseason Game
The Cleveland Browns’ preseason clash may have been all about evaluating rosters and testing game plans, but one off-field moment stole the spotlight — a lighthearted exchange between Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Browns superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett.
It all began moments after the final whistle, when Sanders, who was in attendance to support friends and soak in the NFL atmosphere, found himself face-to-face with the All-Pro defensive end. Instead of a quick handshake, the two broke into a spirited conversation filled with laughs, playful gestures, and mutual respect.
While microphones didn’t catch the exact words exchanged, fans quickly pieced together what might have been discussed. Some speculated that Garrett was offering advice about transitioning from college football to the pros, while others imagined a more competitive back-and-forth — perhaps Garrett joking about how he would sack Sanders if they ever met on the gridiron.
Clips of the interaction spread rapidly across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok. The video showed Garrett leaning down to match Sanders’ height, smiling, while Sanders animatedly pointed and gestured like a quarterback breaking down a play. Fans loved it. Comments poured in:
“This is the kind of energy football needs!”
“Garrett mentoring the next generation — love to see it.”
“Shedeur already building NFL connections. Smart move.”
The timing of the viral moment couldn’t have been better. Sanders is gearing up for his next college season under head coach and father Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, where expectations are sky-high after his impressive performances last year. Meanwhile, Garrett remains one of the league’s most feared defenders, coming off another dominant season and preparing to lead the Browns’ defense into what could be a playoff push.
Beyond the humor and speculation, the interaction highlighted a growing culture of camaraderie between NFL stars and rising college talents. For Sanders, moments like this not only expand his network but also offer valuable insight from players who have successfully navigated the jump to the pros. For Garrett, it was a chance to connect with the next wave of football talent while showing fans a more relaxed, human side of a dominant competitor.
As preseason rolls on, Browns fans are focusing on their team’s on-field performance — but for many, the image of Myles Garrett and Shedeur Sanders sharing a laugh will remain one of the summer’s most memorable moments.
