Shedeur Sanders is stuntin’ like his daddy! The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback’s flex celebration is officially a thing, and it’s taking over sports.
When your dad is Deion Sanders, you can’t be average. Average is not even in your vocabulary. All you know is doing things that most people don’t do. Why would celebrations be any different?
The Buffs had a rough few weeks with back-to-back losses to Oregon and USC. (Sanders was even trolled by opposing players during that stretch. Yikes.)
But, when Colorado pulled out a gutsy win over Arizona State in Week 6 on Saturday, Sanders hit their fans with an icy flex.
In other words, Sanders said, I just looked at my wrist. I got time today.
Shedeur Sanders’ watch is a custom Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 coated with 30 carats of VVS diamonds — worth about $70,000.
He just took down Arizona State and immediately ran over to flex it in front of the crowd.

Other sports have caught on, starting with the NFL, where stuntin’ is a habit.
New York Jets running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson flashed imaginary watches after a massive win over Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos that felt personal.

Next, receiver Davante Adams showed his best version of Sanders’ flex with his watch on Monday, just hours before the Las Vegas Raiders beat the Green Bay Packers.

Even the NBA is getting in on the action. On Monday, San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembenyama and Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren gave fans a show with a sneaky good preseason matchup.
Holmgren, who finished the game with 21 points and nine rebounds, took time to flex after a sick bank shot that went in despite contact.

Do your thing, Shedeur. The world is watching.
