Sanders, a highly-rated draft prospect who endured a dramatic fall into the fifth round in April, entered the game fourth on the Browns depth chart, but was pressed into starting duty because of injuries.

Two plays later Sanders fired a 7-yard TD strike between two defenders to tie the game in the second quarter. After a couple of nifty runs and throws, Sanders found Davis again over the middle for a 12-yard score to give Cleveland the lead with 1:04 left in the first half. Davis finished with three catches for 23 yards.

Shedeur Sanders produced multiple touchdowns in his NFL preseason debut for the Cleveland Browns. Sanders tossed a pair of touchdowns in the first half in Friday's matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The rookie's first touchdown was a beautiful throw into the left side of the end zone to Kaden Davis.
