Shedeur Sanders made quite the statement in the first quarter of the Week 12 game between the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders.
On the Browns' third drive of the game, Sanders rolled out to his right under immense pressure and fired a deep ball that landed right in the bread basket to wide receiver Isaiah Bond.
Just one play later, the Browns punched it in for six on a run play to running back Quinshon Judkins.
Check out this must-see play.

Sanders is only in his third quarter of action as of the first frame of the game versus the Raiders and he has already thrown a better pass than anything Dillon Gabriel has thrown in six starts this season.
Talk about starting off his first career NFL start with a bang.
