Shedeur Sanders has hit the ground running with that lucrative $4.6 million contract, and he seems eager to indulge in the perks of his new NFL status. After experiencing a surprising slide to the fifth round of the draft, the assumption might have been that Shedeur would take a moment to gather his thoughts before diving headfirst into the celebration that comes with being a professional athlete. But in typical Shedeur fashion, why wait to treat oneself?
Having transitioned from a highly touted first-round prospect to a fifth-round selection by the Cleveland Browns, the young quarterback is enjoying his newfound wealth. Reports indicate he’s already purchased himself yet another Rolls-Royce, this time a custom ride that stands out truly. His older brother, Deion Sanders Jr., has been spotted showcasing Shedeur’s new olive-green beauty on YouTube, a fitting nod to the high-octane, flashy lifestyle that comes with the territory.
In February, not long before the draft, Shedeur was seen browsing elite vehicles at the Vegas Auto Gallery, specifically eyeing a Rolls-Royce Phantom. This model usually comes with a pricetag hovering around $495,000, decked out with a stunning black diamond exterior and an interior that boasts white leather accented with peony red. However, it seems Shedeur had a particular vision — he wanted his dream car in a striking earth green, and it looks like he got precisely what he wished for.
This extravagant purchase has stirred a range of reactions among fans. While some commentators might see it as a deserved reward after years of hard work, others have expressed skepticism about such a significant expenditure. One commentator on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that the cost of the car is likely equal to Shedeur’s entire take-home salary for the first year of his rookie deal. This has left fans scratching their heads, wondering if he might have jumped the gun on spending, especially considering he’s still finding his footing in the league.
“Living with his dad again soon,” one user quipped, suggesting that the financial choices being made may not lead to long-term stability. Another fan voiced concerns about why Shedeur isn’t focused on training or studying playbooks instead of splurging on luxury items. The underlying sentiment among many fans seems to be an apprehension that this kind of spending could foreshadow trouble down the line.
It’s noteworthy to mention that this was not Shedeur’s only brush with flamboyance. During the draft, he sported a massive diamond chain valued at over $100,000 and was even photographed with a briefcase supposedly filled with a million dollars at his celebration party. Shedeur clearly takes pride in showcasing his wealth, but some argue that there’s a fine line between celebrating achievements and making questionable financial decisions.
As it stands, Shedeur doesn’t just own a Rolls-Royce; he already has a Cullinan, a Lamborghini Urus, and even a Tesla Cybertruck in his growing collection. While some see this as just youthful exuberance, others worry that maintaining such a lavish lifestyle may not be sustainable for a rookie navigating the unpredictable waters of the NFL. The journey ahead is uncertain, and how he manages his finances and decisions now could shape his future in ways he can’t quite see yet.
