CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders didn't disappoint in his highly anticipated NFL debut.

Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, got the start and threw a pair of first-half touchdown passes in the Browns' 30-10 preseason-opening win over the Carolina Panthers on Friday night.

Sanders threw his first touchdown on a 7-yard pass to wide receiver Kaden Davis on the first play of the second quarter, threading the ball through a tight window in the back corner of the end zone. Cleveland's offense capitalized on a short field after the Browns recovered a muffed punt deep in the red zone, converting their fourth possession into points. The touchdown prompted a quick celebration from the elder Sanders on social media.
