Shedeur Sanders may have been a Day 3 draft pick, but the spotlight shining on him feels more like that of a first-round franchise quarterback. The new Cleveland Browns signal-caller is now working to silence distractions and prove he belongs at the professional level.
As the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Shedeur has grown up under immense pressure and public scrutiny.
That attention has only intensified now that he’s part of an NFL quarterback room in Cleveland that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. While the competition is fierce, it’s not just the battle for a starting role that’s drawing headlines-it’s the rumors off the field.
Over the weekend, reports began circulating that Sanders had bought a custom olive-green Rolls-Royce Phantom worth over $500,000. The claim seemed plausible to some, considering Sanders‘ well-known taste for luxury and the wealth he accrued during college through NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals. But others raised eyebrows at the idea, especially in light of his rookie contract.
Strong Chance Browns Start 0-5 This Season
Shedeur, selected 144th overall in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, signed a four-year, $4.64 million deal with the Browns. If the reports about the car were true, it would suggest he spent over 10 percent of his total contract-and nearly half of his guaranteed signing bonus-before playing a single snap in the league.
Sanders calls out false narratives as he locks in on football
Sanders didn’t wait long to clear the air. On Monday, he took to X to directly address the reports about his supposed big-ticket purchase.
“Another lie…. I’m focused on my team not a car purchase,” wrote Sanders.
The 22-year-old quarterback appears determined to shift the conversation away from material distractions and back to football. While he’s been known in the past for wearing diamond chains and showcasing expensive watches-including one that famously inspired his touchdown celebration-Sanders now appears to be treating his rookie season with a different level of intent.
In a recent interview with SportsCasting, he offered insight into his current mindset and priorities.
“I’ve mainly just been focusing on the team, everybody that’s currently around me, the coaches on the team,” Sanders said. “I haven’t really been on my phone much or talking to many people. I really don’t even talk to my family. It’s one of those situations where I just have to lock in, stay focused on what’s present now.”

Paris Saint-Germain, Inter’s meeting in Champions League final showcases connection between fashion and sports
Getty Images It is as familiar a sight as any, be it on a live stream of choice or on a social media platform -- soccer players walk down a corridor of a stadium hours before an upcoming match, frequently in uniform. They are not clad in the kits that they will be wearing in a few short hours on the pitch, though. The outfits are usually something more formal, a look more sartorial than the polyester jerseys they are famed for wearing – and oftentimes supplied by a luxury apparel brand.The name recognition of the players on the pitch has matched that of the fashion houses that have flocked to dress them in recent years, both for matches big and small. Look no further than this season's edition of the UEFA Champions League, when Hugo Boss partnered with Stuttgart […]
PSG, Inter combined starting XI ahead of Champions League final: Lautaro Martinez, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, more
Getty Images On May 31 PSG and Inter will play the 2024-25 edition of the UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich for what's probably the biggest and most awaited match of the season. The Italian team have won the competitions three times (in 1964, 1965 and 2010) but also lost 1-0 in 2023 to Manchester City in the Istanbul final. PSG, on the other hand, have never won the tournament in their history and they are aiming to become the second French team on the men's side to be crowned champions, after Olympique Marseille. The French champions have played one final, back in 2020, when they lost to Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich and they are now hoping to make it happen under Spanish coach Luis Enrique. Let's take a look at our best combined lineup between […]

Mauresmo defends lack of women’s matches in French Open night sessions
Amelie Mauresmo has defended the French Open's policy of prioritising men's matches over women's in its prestigious night sessions.Roland-Garros chiefs are once again under fire for snubbing women in the primetime slot under the lights on Court Philippe-Chatrier. WTA stars Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur have this week criticised the schedulers for not showcasing women's tennis, with the latter saying: "I don't think they have daughters."But tournament director and former world No 1 Mauresmo insists men's matches take priority because they are longer, giving spectators more value for money.
