Shedeur Sanders Gifts Diamond Chains to Youth Campers in Cleveland Area

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a surprise stop at a youth football camp in Brooklyn, Ohio, on Saturday, where he handed out custom diamond chains to two lucky participants. The event took place at Brooklyn Memorial Stadium, shortly after Sanders returned from a workout with teammates in Miami.

The camp, organized in partnership with the Browns Give Back program, featured drills and activities for children split into groups. Sanders, who is preparing for his second NFL season, took time to engage with the young players despite an upcoming training camp battle with Deshaun Watson for the Week 1 starting role.

Diamond chains on offer

Sanders announced the prizes through a megaphone, telling the kids that a diamond chain would be given away. According to local outlet ABC5, he oversaw a knockout-style game of 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees, Flag' before presenting two chains from Tajia Diamonds, a New York-based jeweler known for creating custom pieces for the Sanders family.

• Two custom chains were handed out to camp competition winners
• Chains came from Tajia Diamonds, the Sanders family's preferred jeweler
• Sanders debuted a $100,000 Tajia chain at the 2025 NFL Draft
• Camp was part of the Browns Give Back community program

The exact value of the chains given to the campers was not disclosed, but ABC5 reported they carried a 'high' price tag. Tajia Diamond pieces typically range from around $2,500 for smaller designs to $400,000 for bespoke creations.

Why it matters

The appearance underscores Sanders' efforts to connect with the local community as he enters a pivotal offseason. With the Browns' quarterback competition against Watson looming, Sanders is balancing on-field preparation with off-field engagement.

Sanders is expected to continue offseason workouts in Miami before reporting to the Browns' training facility in Berea, Ohio, for the start of training camp later this summer.
