In episode 2 of the new podcast "2Legendary with Shedeur Sanders," the quarterback and his brother Shilo Sanders went into detail about an anecdote of their childhood. The story centered around Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders' manner of raising them and his methods of keeping them grounded. Also in the discussion was their older brother, Deion Sanders Jr., who was the guest of the podcast.

The story was about an occasion when Deion Sanders sent the brothers to the mall with a $100 bill they were supposed to share. According to Shilo, they didn't want to share the money, and they started bickering about who should hold the bill. Prime Time made a Solomonic decision and split the bill in two, telling each brother that each piece was $50. Responding to the anecdote, Shedeur said:

“He just committed a crime” (Timestamp: 22:25)

The joke seems to refer to the fact that under Title 18, Chapter 17 of the U.S. Code § 333, defacing or mutilating national bank obligations is illegal. However, the point of the story is that the brothers weren't raised as spoiled kids and Deion Sanders was rather strict with them.

Is Shedeur Sanders the new Joe Burrow?

In the first episode of the "2Legendary" podcast, one of the guests was Darrell Colbert Jr., a former SMU Mustangs quarterback-turned-coach. Around 15 minutes into the show, the conversation turned to Colbert Jr's training methods. He made an interesting comparison regarding Sanders' abilities:

“He had said, he compared you to Joe Burrow, and I felt like that was right on for it. Like, sneaky athletic, being able to extend plays, taking care of the football, playing from inside the pocket. A lot of different stuff. So, if I had to say somebody, I think Joe Burrow is a good fit for somebody that’s playing right now and doing some stuff. You could say a little bit of what Dak [Prescott] does, as well. But I think Joe Burrow was a good fit.”

Whether or not Shedeur's playing style reminds of the former LSU signal-caller is up for debate. Most importantly, to hold that level of prestige, he would need to equal some of the achievements of Burrow. Burrow was a national champion, and Sanders doesn't yet have a winning season at the FBS level.
