Shedeur Sanders is one of the biggest names in college football as the 2024 season quickly approaches. While his on-field talent is one thing, his last name and brand exposure is another.
Deion Sanders’ son is always in the spotlight!
As such, his influence on the next generation is far greater than his record at Colorado might deserve. The Buffaloes missed out on a bowl game at 4-8 even though Sanders completed 69.3% of his passes for 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Numbers are one thing. Wins — rather, a lack thereof — are another. It was a disastrous season for a team that started the year at 3-0.
Coach Prime and his staff hit the transfer portal hard for the second offseason in a row and rebuilt most of the roster. Especially the offensive line. He promised the Colorado fan base that his team will make a bowl game this season after guaranteeing a national championship by Year 3.
A strong year for the Buffaloes is crucial for Sanders, who will have to lead the charge. This year’s NFL Draft class is weak at the quarterback position so a strong year could even push him into the first round.
Regardless of what happens in terms of results, he will be in the headlines.
Shedeur Sanders famously flexed his luxury watch in the face of a Nebraska player back in September, which sparked a new celebration that swept the nation— even though he was not the first athlete to hold up his watch in such a manner. The ‘Shedeur’ became a thing throughout the season.
It sparked a lot of chatter about character, attitude, etc. It was particularly funny when Stanford threw it right back in his face after Colorado blew a 29-0 lead.
Despite all of the scuttlebutt around the ‘Shedeur’ celebration, the youth loves it.
Five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench is in Los Angeles for the Elite 11 Finals. He flashed his watch just like Sanders. In other words, he hit the ‘Shedeur.’
No matter how angry it makes a certain group of society, Shedeur Sanders is a big deal. His cultural influence cannot be denied!
