Shedeur Sanders Hosts Local High School Players For An Nfl Level Workout

In a visit to John Marshall High School in Cleveland, Shedeur Sanders welcomed himself to the local community and spoke about his goals at the next level.

The newest Browns quarterback said that he wants to be more connected with Cleveland's youth and bring positivity and hope to the city. While that promise was only made a week ago, Sanders wasted no time making good on it.

While looking for players to work out with in the local area on May 7, Sanders called upon four local high school players to help him. Milan Parris, Pauly Sadler, Devron Mills and LeMarques Greenwood II quickly made their way over to a local practice field.

"The drive there was definitely nerve-wracking," Parris told USA Today's Nick Brinkerhoff. "I was going through all types of things in my head. I had to get my head together before I arrived. On the way back, I was in shock. My family was calling my phone and, honestly, I was just trying to soak it all in."

A class of 2026 commit to Iowa State, Parris said that he was initially star-struck, but was grateful for the opportunity to practice with an NFL player. During the two-hour workout, Sanders continually gave advice and pushed Parris through the grueling process.

At the workout, Parris said they worked a lot on timing routes, and Sanders helped coach the players and got his own reps in.

"Sometimes we'd have trouble hesitating through our routes or getting to the break and he was just like, be loose, be comfortable, and that will definitely you make a lot better," Parris said.

According to ESPN Cleveland's Brad Stainbrook, Sanders spent time with the Berea-MidPark football team on the same day as this workout.

No player has gone through more attacks on their character over the last month than Sanders, but he isn't letting that faze him. The Colorado star is staying true to what he promised the Cleveland community, and this seems to be just the beginning of a perfect pairing.
