Shedeur Sanders, the quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, has launched his music career with the release of his first single, “Perfect Timing,” on Spotify.
The youngest Sanders brother is eyeing NFL glory and a rise in the music industry. Sanders, who is in the running for the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, recently showcased his musical talent. He opened for Lil’ Wayne, performing his new song.
The track, featuring autotune, lasts two minutes and delves into luxury themes, including flashy cars and expensive watches.
Some critics and social media users have labelled the song “very mid at best.” Despite this, Sanders’ single has captured attention, further boosted by a 28-second teaser on On3.
Sanders chose to play another season with Colorado instead of entering the 2024 NFL Draft following a challenging season in which his team lost eight of its last nine games.
His decision to balance music and football has raised questions. Yet, Sanders is committed to succeeding in both fields, with strong support from his father, Deion Sanders.
Last season, Sanders demonstrated his prowess on the field during his junior year. He completed over 69% of his passes, throwing over 3,200 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Looking forward, Sanders is set to continue making his mark both as an athlete and an artist. He remains a figure of interest for fans and critics across different domains.
