In honor of Shedeur Sanders’ first game as the No. 2 quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, his brother decided to surprise him with some cosplay and have some fun with fans.
Shilo Sanders posted a video to his YouTube channel in which he dressed up wearing Shedeur’s No. 12 Browns jersey and his custom “legendary” necklace at Acrisure Stadium.
The prank worked as Shilo, who introduced himself to people in the stadium as his brother, had several fans come up to him asking for selfies.
Shilo’s facade was broken momentarily when one Steelers fan figured out he wasn’t Shedeur, though she did nicely say that he has a “prettier smile” than his brother (starts at 3:40 mark).
The video continues to after the game ended when Shilo greeted Shedeur outside of the Browns locker room. Shilo admitted he stayed until the end of the game because he “thought they was gonna put you in” to play.
Shilo did joke that he “liked” Shedeur’s movement because he “didn’t sit down too long” and “got up” when he needed to from the bench to stay limber.
Unfortunately for the people who were getting autographs, they are unlikely to be as valuable as they were hoping when they figure out Shilo was signing as his brother.
On the whole, though, it was nice to see Steelers fans seem to be welcoming of someone dressed in Browns gear into Pittsburgh. It probably helps they got to see the Steelers win 23-9 to improve their record to 4-1 and extend their lead in the AFC North to three games in the loss column.
