Shedeur Sanders recently sat down with Complex and opened up about life as QB1 for Colorado, fashion, haters, and more.

At the beginning of this college football season, the Colorado Buffaloes took the world by storm. It was lights, camera, and action while everyone flocked to Colorado to garner a drop of clout off the program. Now much of the shine has worn off and the Buffs have suffered three straight losses but in comparison to the team having one win last season, it’s a vast improvement.

According to Complex, Shedeur Sanders is focused and ignoring hate from detractors.

“I mean, I enjoy it. I enjoy the hate. I enjoy that they get mad. If they’re not talking about you about what you’re doing, then you’re not relevant. You’re not doing anything. So knowing that you got people hating on you, that means you’re doing something right. Because if somebody wasn’t saying anything negative about you or anything, then you ain’t doing the right thing in life.”

One thing that has driven his haters crazy is Shedeur flexing his $200,000 watches in their faces. We’ve seen several rappers and personalities copy the movement including Rick Ross and DJ Khaled. Shedeur told Complex that his signature move wasn’t premeditated and it took off on its own.

“Well, it’s amazing because it’s just now somebody has another celebration to do whenever they achieve on their achievements, which is amazing. So whenever anybody has a chance to do it and they do it’s really exciting to me because it just happened. It wasn’t like planned or anything. It just happened.”

At one point in the interview, Sanders was asked about wearing his father Deion Sanders’ cleats. According to him, it’s to represent the Sanders name.

“Yeah. I gotta wear his cleats up there and represent the family. His cleats were historic and legendary back in the day and they still are to this day. But things transpired to where he was with Under Armour at the time, so it wasn’t available. So now, they renewed and everything is good. So we back wearing the cleats.”

Regardless of Colorado’s record, Shedeur Sanders is a star and he will go pro whether people like it or not. Until the next step in his football journey arrives, you can either enjoy his talent or hate on it. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
