Super Bowl Sunday is nearly upon us, and former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has exciting plans for the weekend as he awaits his NFL future. He’ll be in New Orleans, soaking in the atmosphere as the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles clash for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. But what exactly does he have in store for this monumental event?
Shedeur’s Super Bowl Weekend Plans
On Thursday’s episode of his podcast, "2Legendary," Shedeur shared his Super Bowl weekend itinerary. "We’ll be actually recording a podcast out there, so I’ll be out there," he said enthusiastically. "It’ll be fun. I’m excited to go and experience New Orleans." This city, known for its vibrant culture and lively atmosphere, is sure to add an extra layer of excitement to his weekend.
But podcasting isn’t the only thing on Shedeur’s agenda. He has a workout session lined up with a former teammate from Jackson State, who is familiar with the area. "You know, Warren (Newman), the receiver from Jackson (State), he just saw me," Shedeur explained. "He just pulled up on me by the Shrine Bowl. Basically, I just told him that I’ll be out there in New Orleans." Their commitment to training is a testament to Shedeur’s determination to stay sharp as he prepares for the NFL draft.
Training in the Crescent City
Despite the festivities surrounding the Super Bowl, Shedeur is keeping his focus on football. "He was like, ‘Yeah, let me know.’ We’re gonna make sure we find a high school to work out in so we don’t backtrack and take a step back from training and everything," he added. This dedication is crucial for a player who has faced scrutiny and pressure, especially being the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders.
Even though he will be in the heart of Super Bowl celebrations, Shedeur won’t be attending the game itself. "My birthday is Feb. 7," he noted. "I will be there in New Orleans, bro. If nobody has any surprises for me, then I gotta switch up on everybody, bro." It’s clear that while he’s excited about the Super Bowl, his personal milestones are also on his mind.
Shedeur’s Super Bowl Prediction
As for the game itself, Shedeur has made his prediction clear. He’s rooting for the Eagles, stating, "I got the Eagles. I want Jalen Hurts to win, bro. He has a good story." This sentiment reflects a growing admiration for Hurts, who has overcome adversity to lead his team to the Super Bowl.
What makes Shedeur choose the Eagles? It’s their formidable run game, led by Saquon Barkley, who rushed for over 2,000 yards this season. "The most important thing in football is being able to run the ball," Sanders emphasized. "They have Saquon Barkley, so I think they’re able to run the football, establish the run, and, you know, get a lot of play-action passes because they’re so focused on the run. Jalen Hurts gonna do what he gotta do to win."
This analysis shows that Shedeur understands the intricacies of the game and recognizes the importance of a strong ground game in setting up successful passing plays. Hurts, who nearly defeated Mahomes two Super Bowls ago, may finally have his chance to clinch a victory for the Eagles, the team that drafted him in 2020.
A Bright Future Ahead
As Shedeur prepares for this pivotal moment in his life, it’s not just about the Super Bowl; it’s about what comes next. The anticipation of entering the NFL is palpable, and his experiences in New Orleans will undoubtedly shape his journey. The combination of podcasting, training, and enjoying the Super Bowl festivities is a unique blend that reflects his multifaceted approach to this transitional phase.
In a world where athletes are often scrutinized, Shedeur stands out not only for his talent but also for his mindset. He’s embracing every opportunity, whether it’s recording a podcast or hitting the gym with a friend. This determination and focus will serve him well as he embarks on his professional career.
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, fans will be watching closely not only for the outcome of the game but also for the next generation of stars like Shedeur Sanders. His journey is just beginning, and with his passion for the game and commitment to excellence, there’s no telling how far he will go.
As the excitement builds for the big game, one thing is clear: Shedeur Sanders is ready to make his mark, both on and off the field. The future looks bright for this rising star, and fans can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next.
