The Super Bowl may have ended weeks ago, but the buzz? It’s still going strong. Fans aren’t over it yet, and honestly, who can blame them? From Donald Trump’s appearance to Serena Williams’ surprise cameo during the Half-Time show, the night really felt nothing but surreal. But Serena didn’t just bring her iconic Crip Walk to the party; she brought something even flashier. Can you guess what it was? Well, 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Shedeur Sanders couldn’t either.

On a recent episode of his podcast, 2Legendary with Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback was put to the test. His task? Guess the top five athletes at the Super Bowl based on the value of their watches, ranked from least to most expensive. Sounds really simple, right? Well, what Sanders said next shocked fans. These kinds of behind-the-scenes details about sports icons don’t usually make it to the public. But this time? Sanders gave everyone a rare glimpse into the luxury side of the game.

During the challenge, Shedeur Sanders confidently ranked the athletes based on their watch values. His list? Saquon Barkley at 5, Serena Williams at 4, Michael Strahan at 3, Tom Brady at number 2, and rapper Jay-Z at the top of his list. Sanders looked completely at ease while making his picks, as if he had an inside scoop on these high-end timepieces. But was his ranking accurate? That’s where things got interesting.

After locking in his guesses, Shedeur Sanders confidently asked, “Alright, what’s the answer?” Turns out, he fumbled the start but nailed the finish. The actual rankings? At number five, it was Serena Williams rocking a $250K Audemars Piguet. At number four, Saquon Barkley showed up with a $348K Jacob & Co. From there on, Sanders was locked in. At number three, Michael Strahan flexed a $450K Rolex, bang on! At number two, Tom Brady stunned with a $740K Jacob & Co., another perfect guess. And at number one, it was none other than Jay-Z, shutting it down with a $3.5M Richard Mille.

Uff, man! These people are built differently. They were just casually pulling up to the Super Bowl with millions on their wrists. Sanders might have doubted his ranking at first, but let’s be real: this list screams money, power, and GOAT status. Speaking of status, do you know the current status of Shedeur Sanders?

Skipping the NFL Combine: Is Shedeur Sanders making a smart move or taking a big risk?

Shedeur Sanders skips NFL combine throws, saves showcase for Pro Day

Shedeur Sanders is playing it smart, just like his dad, Deion Sanders always did. Instead of throwing at the NFL Combine, he’s choosing to showcase his arm on his own terms at Colorado’s Pro Day. And honestly? It makes total sense. Why throw to unfamiliar receivers when you can wait and drop dimes to guys you already have chemistry with? Sanders knows his value, and after leading college football with a 74% completion rate last season, he’s got nothing to prove at the Combine.

The move also keeps the spotlight on him just the way Prime Time would do it. He’s taking the same calculated approach he did at the East-West Shrine Bowl but holding off on throwing until he’s 100% locked in. As he told CBS Sports, “I never want to go out there and half-step. I want to be my best at all times.”

let’s be real. NFL scouts already know what he can do. He’s not some mid-round prospect trying to prove himself; he’s a projected top-10 pick. And if there’s one thing Deion has taught his son, it’s that the best don’t follow the crowd; they set their own path. Some might call it risky, but Sanders is betting on himself. What do you think?
