Even Panthers players are being asked about Browns Shedeur Sanders’ QB competition

The bond forged in Boulder remains strong in the NFL. Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. continues to support his former Colorado Buffaloes teammate, Shedeur Sanders, as the Cleveland Browns quarterback fights for the starting job.

During a recent interview, reporters asked Horn if he thought Sanders would win the highly anticipated quarterback competition in Cleveland. The second-year wideout kept his focus on his own locker room but didn’t hesitate to throw his support behind his college quarterback.

“I pray my boy do win that competition,” Horn said. “Right now I’m worried about our season, what we got going on. But I pray my boy do win whatever they got going on.”

The two playmakers share a deep connection from their time turning around the Colorado football program under Deion Sanders. Fans vividly remember their electric 2024 season opener against North Dakota State, where Sanders stood strong in the pocket to throw for 445 yards and four touchdowns, heavily targeting Horn, who racked up a massive 198 receiving yards.

Now, both players are looking to make their mark at the professional level. Sanders, who was drafted by the Browns in 2025, faces a crowded quarterback room and steep competition to lead Kevin Stefanski’s offense. Meanwhile, Horn is battling for consistent targets in a deep Carolina receiver rotation.

Horn already showed flashes of his explosive potential during his rookie campaign, logging 11 receptions for 108 yards across 13 games. He recently delivered a standout performance in Carolina’s 2026 preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, highlighted by a sharp 17-yard catch-and-run that left defenders trailing in his wake.

While Horn remains completely dialed in on helping the Panthers turn things around this season, he clearly still keeps tabs on his “brother” up in Cleveland. If Sanders captures the starting role, expect Horn to be one of his biggest cheerleaders.
