Former Cleveland Browns player Leigh Bodden has made a bold statement, claiming that the team could win the Super Bowl if they hired Deion Sanders as head coach. In an exclusive interview ahead of Shedeur Sanders’s first start this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders, Bodden emphasized that now is the “perfect time” to move on from current head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Bodden, who spent eight seasons in the NFL, praised Coach Prime’s transformative impact at the college level. He believes the legendary cornerback’s star power could draw top talent to Cleveland. “If Deion and Shedeur reunite in Northeast Ohio, they could be as great as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,” Bodden stated, underscoring the potential greatness of this father-son duo.
As Shedeur prepares for his debut as a starter, Bodden expressed his disbelief that the young quarterback received no first-team reps until just days before the game. “That’s a decision I can’t wrap my head around,” he remarked, also critiquing Stefanski’s management of Deshaun Watson during his time with the Browns.
Despite a challenging season for Deion Sanders at Colorado—with the team currently at 3-7—Bodden remains optimistic. He is even willing to assist in the turnaround. “I’m going to help turn this program around. Let’s have a Lombardi trophy celebration by Lake Erie,” he declared, aiming to inspire hope for Browns fans.
Shedeur’s first career start comes after Dillon Gabriel faces an injury. Bodden views this moment as the dawn of a new era for the Browns, igniting excitement among fans.
As the NFL season continues, all eyes will be on Cleveland. Could the Sanders duo reshape the Browns’ future? Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this developing story unfolds.
