Shedeur Sanders made quite the headlines Tuesday after a viral moment of the Colorado Buffaloes star with supermodel Kendall Jenner. In a YouTube video posted by Well Off Media, Deion Sanders’ quarterback son and Jenner shared a warm hug [01:15].
Jenner, who is worth a reported $60 million (as per Celebrity Net Worth), is no stranger to high-profile connections. She is part of the Kardashian clan. Jenner was in Boulder to promote her 818 Tequila. As part of her college campus tour, Jenner visited the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant.
Apart from his off-field activities, Shedeur remains focused on his game. The 22-year-old led Coach Prime’s team to a dominating 28-9 victory over the Colorado State Rams.
The Buffs are 2-1 in the regular season, and as usual, the hype around the Sanders clan is there for everyone to see. With his meetup with Kendall, Shedeur Sanders has given fans one more reason to make some noise
Shedeur Sanders is getting tax nightmares
The Colorado quarterback has been in the spotlight ever since Deion Sanders brought him along from Jackson State. Owing to his NIL demand, Shedeur has been living the high life, but he's learning that money comes with strings attached.
The $5.1 million NIL-valued athlete (per On3) delved into the downsides of his newfound wealth on the “OUTTA POCKET” podcast with Robert Griffin III. The 22-year-old owns a Rolls Royce Cullinan and Mercedes Maybach, among other cars, but the harsh reality of taxes is hitting him hard.
During the interview, RGIII asked Shedeur how he felt about NIL, to which Sanders laughed but quickly turned serious.
“I definitely love NIL, but there’s pros and cons to it, though. You got to like don’t feel like you made it already. When you able to get whatever you want any time in life, then there’s like a lot of things don’t really interest you no more … Tax is not good.” [09:00]
Even Shedeur’s brother, Shilo, who has a $1 million NIL value (On3), joined the conversation, saying that most players will eventually face financial realities.
