Shedeur Sanders shuts down rumors of Rolls Royce purchase after viral video

Shedeur Sanders shut down any rumors that he purchased a Rolls Royce to celebrate being drafted by the Cleveland Browns. He’s focused on football only at this time.

In a video shared by Deion Sanders Jr., the elder brother of Shedeur showed a green Rolls Royce being dropped off at the family home in Texas. The rumored value of the car is $500,000.

So, Dov Kleiman, a popular person (or heck, robot) aggregator account known to run wild with stories to increase engagement, naturally assumed Shedeur Sanders purchased the car for himself. That was quickly shut down.

“Another lie….,” Sanders wrote on Twitter. “I’m focused on my team, not a car purchase!”

Sanders is in the middle of a quarterback battle with four other signal callers in the room, including rookie QB Dillon Gabriel, who was selected in the third round out of Oregon. Purchasing a vehicle for half of a million dollars on a rookie contract is probably not the smartest move, so let’s give Sanders a little credit.

But the former Colorado QB loves his teammates and is eager to learn, as he revealed at the NFL’s rookie showcase. Heck, he’s even starstruck by Joe Flacco, a Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl MVP.

“We’re all different characters,” Sanders said on Up and Adams. “It’s funny going in there and seeing Joe everyday. It’s funny because at practice I’m like ‘Wow I’m really with Joe Flacco right now.’ We’re on the same team! That’s cool and of course with Kenny, with the experience he has being in the league for these years it’s cool, just seeing the process. Deshaun of course, he’s active in there, he’s in all the meetings. It’s cool to talk to him.”

Sanders was borderline smitten with Flacco with the way he talked about his elder teammate. From growing up watching him to learning from him, Sanders truly embraced the quarterback room in Cleveland.

“He’s just so funny and we’re on the same team … everybody’s cool in the room,” Sanders said. “Outside the room people try to put us against each other but inside the room, we know we’re one.”

Sanders comes in with some credentials, including being the FBS’ all-time leader in career completion percentage. He finished his two years at Colorado with 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and a 71.8% completion percentage.
