The Cleveland Browns’ interesting quarterback room has brought together players from vastly different eras of football.
When Joe Flacco joined the NFL back in 2008, Deion Sanders had only been retired for three years, making the generational gap between the veteran quarterback and rookie Shedeur Sanders particularly striking.
This age difference became evident during the team’s organized activities, creating an entertaining moment that perfectly captured the contrast between old school and new school football culture.
“You ever hit that dance?” Sanders asked Flacco during a light moment captured on video.
The question clearly caught the veteran completely off guard. After watching a brief demonstration from the rookie, Flacco chuckled and delivered his honest response:
“Definitely not. I don’t know if I’ve ever hit a public dance move in my life.”

The exchange highlighted just how different these two quarterbacks are in their approach to the game and life in general.
While Flacco represents the stoic, no-nonsense veteran presence, Sanders brings youthful energy and personality that reflects his generation’s comfort with self-expression.
Among the Browns’ young quarterback group, which includes former first-rounder Kenny Pickett and rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, Flacco clearly stands out as the veteran leader.
As things currently stand, he’s positioned to start the 2025 season under center while head coach Kevin Stefanski hopes the seasoned signal caller can stabilize an offense that struggled with rhythm and talent throughout last year.
Dancing certainly isn’t part of Flacco’s job description, but Sanders brings something entirely different to the table.
His infectious personality and playful energy, traits he clearly inherited from his father, Deion Sanders, naturally liven up practice sessions.
However, what truly matters is whether the rookie can channel that positive energy into consistent performance when the games actually count.
