Plenty of fans had something to say about Shedeur Sanders ignoring Angel Reese at a Super Bowl event. Sanders, who is set to become a high pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft, attended several events during Super Bowl week, including the Flag Football game where Reese served as honorary coach.

A short clip making the rounds on social media showed the Colorado Buffaloes star walking by Angel Reese as she talked with fans. When the people with her looked up, Sanders looked at his phone and ignored everybody around him. Reese was then shown looking surprised that Sanders didn't even look at her.

It didn't take long for fans to react to this situation and some praised Deion Sanders for raising Shedeur well while others joked about the quality of the move and said Travis Hunter could learn a few things from the quarterback.
