URGENT UPDATE: Former Cleveland Browns player Leigh Bodden has sparked a major conversation about the future of the team, suggesting that hiring Deion Sanders as head coach could lead to a Super Bowl victory. This bold statement comes just as Shedeur Sanders prepares for his first start with the Browns against the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend.
Bodden, who played eight seasons in the NFL, believes it’s the “perfect time” to move on from current head coach Kevin Stefanski. He insists that Deion and Shedeur, the father-son duo, could bring unprecedented success to Cleveland, comparable to the legendary partnership of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
In an exclusive interview, Bodden expressed confidence in Coach Prime’s ability to attract top talent to the Browns. “He could easily command a locker room full of pros,” he stated, highlighting Deion’s Hall of Fame status and the respect he commands in the league.
This call for change comes on the heels of Shedeur’s debut as the starting quarterback, a move that has raised eyebrows given he received no first-team reps until this week. Bodden criticized Stefanski’s handling of the situation, which he believes has hindered the team’s performance, especially during Deshaun Watson‘s time under center.
Despite a challenging 2025 season for Deion at Colorado, where the Buffaloes sit at just 3-7, Bodden remains optimistic. He is even willing to assist in turning the program around, stating, “I’ma help turn this program around…and have a Lombardi trophy celebration by [Lake] Erie.”
The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated as Shedeur Sanders gears up for his first career start with Dillon Gabriel sidelined due to injury. Fans are eager to see if this marks the beginning of a new era for the Browns.
As the Browns prepare for their matchup against the Raiders, all eyes will be on Shedeur and the potential impact of Coach Prime on the franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the NFL landscape shifts with these exciting possibilities.
