Shedeur Sanders Reveals Coach Prime’s Voice Still Guides Him After INT In Browns’ Loss To Titans

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders recently opened up about the moment he threw an interception against the Tennessee Titans, revealing how his father, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, reacted to the mistake.

For Shedeur, even in the NFL, his dad’s influence remains constant. He said that whenever he slips up on the field, he can almost immediately “hear his father’s voice” in his head — a voice that’s equal parts demanding, motivating, and reassuring.

Shedeur explained that Coach Prime didn’t sugarcoat the moment. His father has long emphasized accountability, and that didn’t change just because Shedeur is now in the pros. According to the rookie, Prime’s tone was firm, reminding him that turnovers are part of the game but fixing them quickly is what separates average quarterbacks from great ones.

But the criticism wasn’t harsh — it came from a place of belief. Shedeur said his father has always balanced tough love with confidence in his abilities. Even when pointing out mistakes, Prime encourages him to shake it off, reset emotionally, and come back sharper on the next drive.

The Browns newcomer also credited his dad for preparing him mentally for the NFL’s pressures. He said growing up with Prime taught him how to respond to adversity, stay poised in chaotic moments, and maintain a short memory after errors.

Shedeur’s relationship with his father continues to shape his development, and moments like the Titans interception only reinforce the foundation that Coach Prime built: learn fast, move on faster, and let every mistake turn into growth.
