92.3 The Fan, initially viewed with understandable skepticism.
Cleveland Browns fans are famous for their unwavering dedication and the sheer desperation that comes with decades of searching for a franchise savior. That passion often leads to bold, enthusiastic declarations, but one local sports radio personality has recently raised the stakes by tying his own skin to the hypothetical future of a young quarterback.
What Would It Take for Nick Pedone to Get a Shedeur Sanders Tattoo?
The premise starts with a viral social media trend that blends sports memorabilia with permanent body art. Across platforms like TikTok, dedicated fans are interacting with their favorite athletes in an unconventional way: having the athlete sign a part of their body with a marker and then immediately heading to a tattoo parlor to have that signature permanently inked.
It is an extreme display of fandom, and one that Nick Pedone, a prominent voice covering the Browns for 92.3 The Fan, initially viewed with understandable skepticism.
“I’ve seen this on TikTok a good bit because I follow some of those sports card influencers that are out there and go to all these shows,” Pedone explained during a recent segment. “Some of these people will get like an athlete to sign their skin and then go to the tattoo shop and get it tattooed. I don’t think I would do that.”
However, the boundaries of what a diehard fan will or won’t do often shift dramatically when the promise of a championship is introduced. When pressed on whether he would ever participate in this permanent autograph trend specifically for a polarizing quarterback like Shedeur Sanders, Pedone’s hesitation quickly vanished.
Sanders, the former electrifying signal-caller for the Colorado Buffaloes, was drafted in the fifth round by the Browns in 2025. His supporters believe he represents the type of dynamic, franchise-altering talent that quarterback-starved NFL teams dream of acquiring.
The Browns fielded three different quarterbacks during the 2025 season, and Sanders was one of them. He played in 8 games and earned a PFSN QB Impact Metric score of 56.9, an F, which ranked him 46th.
“If Shedeur wins a Super Bowl for the Browns, I absolutely would do that. How about this…if Shedeur won a playoff game for the Browns, I would strongly consider doing that.”

While Sanders hasn’t quite fully proven himself yet, for the Cleveland faithful, the mere thought of drafting a player who could finally bring long-term stability and swagger to the position is enough to inspire some grand bargains.
When asked whether he would get the tattoo for Sanders, Pedone laid out his stipulations clearly, tying his personal commitment to the team’s ultimate success.

“If Shedeur wins a Super Bowl for the Browns I absolutely would do that,” Pedone declared without missing a beat. He then went a step further, slightly lowering the bar for what it would take to get him into the tattoo artist’s chair. “How about this, if Shedeur won a playoff game for the Browns I would strongly consider doing that.”
Pedone’s comments perfectly encapsulate the collective psyche of the Cleveland fan base. A Super Bowl victory is the ultimate, elusive prize, one that would undoubtedly spark monumental celebrations and, apparently, a few spontaneous trips to the tattoo parlor.
