The Cleveland Browns announced Monday that the second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders will return to the No. 2 jersey for 2026, donning the number he had worn throughout his football career until his rookie season.
Sanders wore the No. 12 jersey in his first NFL season, as 2 was taken by veteran wide receiver and return specialist DeAndre Carter, who is currently unsigned as a free agent.
Sanders reacted to the news by posting “#2” on X and photos of him in a Browns jersey with the number on Instagram, captioning it: “Thank you GOD.” His father, Deion, commented: “Yes Lawd!”
