Former Cleveland Browns player Leigh Bodden has made a bold statement regarding the future of the team, suggesting it’s the “perfect time” to move on from head coach Kevin Stefanski. In a striking recommendation, Bodden advocates for the hiring of Deion Sanders as head coach and envisions a dynamic reunion with his son, Shedeur Sanders, who is set to make his first career start for the Browns against the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend.
In an exclusive interview ahead of Shedeur’s debut, Bodden praised Coach Prime’s remarkable accomplishments in college football, asserting that his star power could attract elite talent to Cleveland. “With Deion and Shedeur together, they could be as monumental as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick,” he declared, emphasizing the potential for greatness if given the opportunity.
As the Browns prepare for their game on November 12, 2025, Bodden expressed frustration over the team’s management decisions, particularly regarding Shedeur’s lack of first-team reps before his debut. He also criticized Stefanski’s handling of quarterback Deshaun Watson during his tenure.
Bodden’s enthusiasm for a Sanders-led team is palpable. “I’m going to help turn this program around,” he proclaimed. “Let’s have a Lombardi trophy celebration by Lake Erie.” Despite the struggles of Deion Sanders at Colorado, where the Buffaloes sit at 3-7 this season, Bodden remains optimistic about the father-son duo’s prospects in the NFL.
As Shedeur prepares to take the field against the Raiders, the Cleveland fanbase is buzzing with excitement over the possibility of a new era. With Bodden’s endorsement of a Sanders-led Browns, all eyes are on the upcoming game and what it could mean for the franchise’s future.
