The experience was more than professional. Explaining the impact, the Las Vegas Aces phenom had on him, Shedeur noted, on his podcast,  ”She was, you know, way taller than me, she really was, so I was you know I felt like a big man in there so I was definitely, we were close in height, but I had a great conversation with her and her family and her parents, they are so cool, they all real cool and genuine.”
