If Browns Want Super Bowl

Former Cleveland Browns player Leigh Bodden believes it’s the “perfect time” to transition from head coach Kevin Stefanski … and who should take his place?? Deion Sanders.
We caught up with the ex-defensive back ahead of Shedeur Sanders‘ first start for the Orange and Brown this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders … and he’d love to see the father-son duo reunite in Northeast Ohio.
Bodden — who played eight seasons in the league — praised what Coach Prime has accomplished at the college level … and believes his star power would attract a variety of talented players and coaches to Cleveland.
He even suggested that Deion and Shedeur together could reach a level of greatness comparable to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick … but that potential will remain untapped until Prime is given the chance.
Regarding Stefanski, Bodden couldn’t understand why Sanders didn’t receive any first-team reps until the week of his debut as a starter … and he also criticized other decisions made during Deshaun Watson‘s time under center.
Bodden believes Prime could easily command a locker room full of professionals — after all, he’s a Hall of Famer, so the respect is already established.
This year hasn’t been great for Sanders in Boulder — Colorado currently holds a record of 3-7 in its first season without Shedeur and Travis Hunter … but Bodden doesn’t see that as a problem.
In fact, he’s offering to help as well!!
“I’m going to help turn this program around,” Bodden stated. “Transform this organization and, as I said, have a Lombardi trophy celebration by [Lake] Erie. The father-son duo did it in college. Let’s see it in the pros.”
Shedeur is making his first career start with Dillon Gabriel sidelined due to an injury … and Bodden clearly views this as the beginning of a new era.
