President Donald Trump took a victory lap on Monday after Shedeur Sanders picked up a win in his first start as a pro for the Cleveland Browns.

Sanders was 11-of-20 for 209 yards and a touchdown pass in the 24-10 win. He threw an impressive pass to Isaiah Bond, which set up a score early in the game. He then had a 66-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Sampson, which started out as a dump off.

Trump supported Sanders when the former Colorado standout fell in the draft and claimed victory in a post on Truth Social.

"Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!" Trump wrote on the social media platform.

Sanders was a fifth-round pick of the Browns after he was considered to be one of the top quarterbacks available. In April, the president was among those bewildered by his fall.

"What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player, and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness," Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.
