Shedeur Sanders showed up at the NFL Combine, ready to talk football but something else grabbed attention, his jewellery, as the 22-year-old made sure his style was on point although it doesn’t dissuade his critics.
The Colorado Buffaloes star appeared rocking pieces from Tajia Diamonds and certainly caught the eyes as the jeweller’s Instagram post showcased his tastes, although he sent a clear message fashion isn’t above football.
“I’m focused on football,” Shedeur said at the media conference. “”I ain’t thinking about creative director. We got legendary, that’s the creative direction.
“The number getting picked don’t matter. I wasn’t the top rated quarterback back coming out of high school because it’s a lot of exterior things that people like and they don’t like about me, and I’m realistic you know, and I’m realistic about my family and everything.”
At the moment, the Colorado QB is focused on proving himself on the field, no matter what people say as critics claim his hobbies away from the gridiron could mean he has the potential to be a busted pick.
But either way, he has the support of his family and his older brother, Deion Sanders Jr., wasted no time dropping his comment regarding his diamond-laden look by describing it as simply, “Legendary.”
Sanders mentored by Brady
Although he has the numbers to back up his supreme talent, Shedeur is always striving for ways to improve his game and he’s found one key mentor supporting him in the form of none other than the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady.
The bond started when the ex-New England Patriot invited him to Tampa for a workout and from there, he’s used the chance to continue understanding the game at the highest level, and he’s thankful for it.
“Tom Brady, he’s an all-time great,” Sanders told reporters. “Being able to have that resource, being able to have that person I’m able to talk to and call whenever I’m having questions about the game. … it’s truly amazing.
“He was like, ‘Come work out with me in Tampa,’ so he flew down there. Dad [Deion Sanders] came, and we rode with him, he took me in this truck to this field to his high school field.
“Then from then on he was just telling me the knowledge and I filmed everything I recorded everything so now uh even sometimes I go back and just listen to the things that he said at that time.”
