Randall Cunningham said<\/a> recently on the All The Smoke podcast. \u201cThe treatment and everything he\u2019s going through, whew, that\u2019s a lot. And I was so happy he got that victory against the Raiders here in Vegas. But I like him, I love that kid. And I\u2019ve never met him before, but I love him.\u201d<\/p>\nCunningham has not met Shedeur Sanders, but he is friends with his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders.<\/p>\n
Still, Cunningham insists that being a fan of Shedeur\u2019s game has nothing to do with Deion.<\/p>\n
“I watch him, and he really wants to stay calm. He really wants to get through everything. And he doesn\u2019t come off as arrogant or \u2018I\u2019m all that,\u2019” Cunningham said. \u201cHe is all of that. And I\u2019m telling you, once he gets a real opportunity and has all the weapons around him and a defense and everything and they just say, \u2018Hey, OK, we\u2019re just going to go with you,\u2019 you\u2019re going to see the same kid you saw in college. The most dynamic player playing quarterback. The kid is good. He\u2019s really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cunningham added that Shedeur Sanders receives unfair criticism because he is Deion\u2019s son, but he likes the way Shedeur has handled it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a stigma of being a Sanders and the Prime Time and all of that. And I think that that kind of overshadows who he is. Because he\u2019s a great kid,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cI watch his interviews and I\u2019m like, \u2018Man, I wish I was wise like that when I first got in there.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders didn\u2019t exactly put up impressive numbers as a rookie.
