On his YouTube channel, Irvin asked, “Are they putting him up there because they want to profit off him?” He argued that the Pro Bowl has struggled for attention in recent years, and Sanders’ inclusion has sparked renewed chatter around the game.
Deion Sanders offered his own reaction, praising his son for making the Pro Bowl in his rookie year. He highlighted the voting process, noting that coaches and players carry significant influence, with fans contributing a smaller portion, and he praised the overall achievement.
Cleveland’s general manager, Andrew Berry, tempered the enthusiasm with a developmental view of Sanders. Berry said Sanders showed progress but remains a work in progress, adding that the Browns will “do our work on the quarterback market” to determine the long-term plan.
Sanders finished the year as Cleveland’s starting quarterback, tallying 1,400 passing yards, 7 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across seven starts. He earned Pro Bowl status despite the late-season role, underscoring the limited but notable rookie-era impact he made.
Looking ahead, the Browns have Sanders, Deshaun Watson, and Dillon Gabriel under contract, and a new head coach is expected to influence quarterback decisions. Cleveland plans to evaluate internal options and external targets as it seeks a clear franchise signal-caller for 2026.
