The NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) race between NBA legend LeBron James’ son, Bronny James, and NFL legend Deion Sanders’ son, Shedeur Sanders, continues to heat up. Since the 2021 NCAA policy allowed student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness, the entire NIL landscape has been on an upward trajectory.
Bronny James had emerged as a frontrunner, occupying the top spot for the longest time. However, Shedeur Sanders, the promising quarterback from Colorado, has been steadily climbing ON3’s list, biding his time to surpass Bronny James. This week, Sanders finally achieved the pinnacle, as James experienced a slight decline in his valuation, while Sanders saw a modest increase. Shedeur celebrated his new feat by posting a photograph on Instagram, posed alongside his expensive new ride.

The spotlight now shifts to Shedeur Sanders as he claims the coveted No. 1 position in NIL earnings. He recently uploaded a picture on Instagram sporting a gray hoodie layered over a gray sweatshirt with front pockets, paired with black cargo trousers and white sneakers. Behind him stood the handsome Tesla Cybertruck in sleek silver. Although the exact price tag of Shedeur’s Cyberbeast remains a mystery, experts in the industry speculate that this top-tier model likely comes with a hefty starting price of around $99,990.
This figure far exceeds the base price of $60,990 for the standard dual-motor variant, reflecting the premium features and advanced technology packed into the Cyberbeast edition. His steady rise in the NIL evaluations reestablishes the fact that student-athletes can capitalize on their own brand value.
