Shedeur Sanders may not be in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft, but he’s making headlines anyway, thanks to his flashy draft-day fashion. While some projected Sanders as a first-round pick earlier in the process, a late slide in his stock has potentially pushed the Colorado quarterback into Day 2 territory. Instead of attending the draft in person, he chose to stay home in Canton, Texas, surrounded by family and his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders.
Shedeur Sanders Steals the Show From Home With Iconic All-Black Fit, Signature Chain
Even without the primetime spotlight, Sanders is showing the world he’s built for the big stage. ESPN aired footage of the 23-year-old sporting all black and an enormous dollar sign squared chain. It, along with his brand name “Legendary,” is Sanders’ signature logo, a nod to his jersey number and his father, Deion’s, rich history with the brand. Deion wore No. 2 during his college football career at Florida State University.

While 17 other prospects are in the green room in Green Bay hoping to hear their names called tonight, Sanders’ fashion choice proves he’s still embracing the moment — his way. Despite the draft uncertainty, he’s keeping the spotlight on his terms. Whether he goes on Day 1 or 2, Sanders is telling the world that he’s ready for the league, and he’s doing it with style.
Quarterback to Mic Check: Sanders Is Rewriting the Playbook for Gen Z Athletes
Sanders is not just preparing for his name to be called at the 2025 NFL Draft; he’s also laying down verses and beats as part of a legitimate push into the music industry. He is part of a new generation of athletes who are rejecting the idea that success has to come in one arena. For Sanders, football and music aren’t competing priorities — they’re twin lanes of ambition he’s determined to drive forward at full speed.
Sanders debuted his rap career with the single “Perfect Timing,” which made waves during Colorado’s spring game. Not just because of its references to luxury watches and high-end lifestyle, but also because it connected with fans in a stadium setting and racked up over two million streams. The track sparked debate — some critics called it weak — but the reception shows that his influence extends beyond the field. His follow-up single, “Life,” takes on a more introspective vibe, showing early signs of artistic evolution and a long-term interest in music as more than a side project.
With an unapologetically confident outlook and eyes on potential collaborations with legends like Snoop Dogg, Sanders is challenging the traditional athlete mold. Instead of waiting until after football, he’s building a personal brand now — one that fuses stardom, swagger, and self-expression.
