We all know how Deion Sanders treats picking a favorite kid like a reality show competition, and Shedeur Sanders just won this episode. On his 23rd birthday, Coach Prime showered him with an abundance of love, making his other children seem insignificant in comparison. To add some excitement to the family dynamic, Pilar Sanders also joined in, further emphasizing Shedeur’s golden child status. At this point, his siblings might as well start training for a comeback like it’s Creed because Shedeur just ran away with the family’s favorite title.

Now, we all know Shedeur Sanders’s birthday fell on Super Bowl weekend, and it was evident that things might not go the way the Sanders family would have planned for Shedeur. But it looks like Coach Prime’s wish might have done a lot of damage control as he hit X wishing his boy saying, “Happy Birthday to my FAVORITE son, Shedeur Sanders.” Now that’s something he might have said as a joke, but we know how competitive Sanders’ siblings are!

Moreover, Pilar Sanders didn’t hold back either, as she made sure that Shedeur Sanders felt like royalty on his big day. As she shared a reel of them spending quality time, with Shedeur joking about her hair, Pilar summed it all together with a heartfelt caption saying, “23 years ago today I brought a legendary soul into this earthly realm! @shedeursanders Happy Birthday, Born Day, Solar Return Son! I love you beyond life and will always choose you and our pack across time, dimensions, and space! Keep living BIGG! Continue being who you are… Legendary!” Well, it looks like there’s a full-on competition over who loves Shedeur more.

However, Deion might be falling behind. While he can effortlessly handle a college football program, he seems to lack confidence when it comes to choosing birthday gifts. The Buffs HC appears to be scrambling for ideas, while Shedeur patiently waits. And Shedeur eagerly anticipates his father’s gift, especially since he had previously gifted his father an AP watch on his last birthday, as he says, I’m just excited to see what Dad’s going to give me because I got him an AP on his last birthday. So I’m just waiting on my gifts.”

And let’s not forget that the AP watch was no ordinary timepiece. Shedeur had given Deion a Royal Oak Self-winding Chronograph worth $76K. Now the pressure is on for Deion to reciprocate. However, that’s not the only item on Shedeur’s wish list. What else has caught Shedeur’s attention? It seems that Papa Prime must deliver something extraordinary. But that’s not the only thing that excites Shedeur!

Shedeur Sanders makes his precious birthday wish

Well, Shedeur Sanders and his family have arrived in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, fully immersing themselves in the city’s grandest events. Attending the NFL Honors, rubbing shoulders with the league’s elite, and eagerly awaiting the big game from their seats inside the stadium. Meanwhile, Well Off Media released a video on Thursday, capturing everything from the team’s arrival to Shedeur’s pre-birthday celebration. While cameras track his every move, he keeps his focus on the next chapter—the NFL Draft.

We all know that Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are leading the 2025 draft class from Colorado, with both players projected to be top-five picks. Now, the first overall selection belongs to Tennessee, and either player could potentially hear their name being called first. It would be a shock if they fall short of the top five. However, Shedeur is determined not to be consumed by the rankings. Celebrating his 23rd birthday on February 7th, he emphasized that his aspirations extend far beyond cake and candles. That is to say, his priorities extend beyond his personal wishes.

While making an early birthday wish, Shedeur’s selfless nature won everyone’s heart. He said, “My birthday wish? I need my Colorado players to get drafted; this shows his genuine concern for his team’s future as much as his own. With the draft drawing near, the spotlight on Shedeur only grows brighter, but he remains steadfast in keeping his eyes on the bigger picture.

Moreover, Shedeur Sanders doesn’t stress over being the No. 1 pick. The Buffs’ QB1 cares only about landing with the right team, no matter where he falls. “You could be in a way worse situation, so being No. 1, that doesn’t really matter to me at the end of the day. That doesn’t matter to me because, yeah, I could go No. 1, but it may not be a fit. Or I could go No. 2, and it would be a fit, or I could go No. 3, and it would be a fit. It’s all about fit.” With just two months until the draft, let’s hope Shedeur’s wish and aspirations both come true.
