The Colorado Buffaloes began the 2023 season on a promising note as they went 3-0 in Deion Sanders’ first season in Boulder as the head coach. In their second win against Nebraska, his QB son Shedeur Sanders began ‘The Shedeur’ watch flex, where he lifts his wrist to flex his valuable watch. 

The Shedeur was further popularized when he did it again following a double overtime win against CSU after being dissed by the Rams’ HC Jay Norvell. Shedeur Sanders stated after the game, “I was just waiting the whole time to put a watch on ’em.” Since then, the move has become a phenomenon, with so many people imitating him, from his little sister Shelomi Sanders to a Tony Award winner. 

Denzel Washington does ‘The Shedeur’

When one of the world’s most famous actors sheds light on someone, it doesn’t go unnoticed, especially under the watchful eyes of Deion Sanders Jr. In his recent Instagram story, he stole a post by @lifeandball that displayed Denzel Washington flaunting a diamond-studded watch and doing The Shedeur. The watch in question is a Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet, worth $30,000 in the market. 

But Shedeur Sanders’ watch is customized with over 30 carats of diamond and worth $70,000. Following the social media popularity, Deion Sanders believed famous names like Rick Ross and DJ Khaled doing the move sealed the deal. But for Denzel Washington, whom Deion Sanders calls “the greatest ever,” to come out and do the same is truly a game-changer for the Sanders.
