In a podcast by Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, the latter asked Shedeur how it is different getting advice from Tom and his father. The 21-year-old quarterback replied, “You’ll not hear it from dad. I was here my whole life so it’s like I kinda understand what he’s saying now? but of course, whenever I talk to Tom, it’s just different. Because he’s actually been there taking snaps. My dad ain’t never been a quarterback.“
Deion Sanders only has a sentence to say. “I was there in high school. Okay, I was there in high school, son.“
Tom Brady has had a profound impact on both Deion and Shedeur Sanders. Coach Prime had stated back in 2020, when?Shedeur was under the mentorship of the GOAT quarterback, “Tom Brady is the best. Tom took his wonderful time and his valuable time to get on the field with my son, who is also a quarterback, over a year ago. And he taught him some things that he’ll never forget.”?He calls Brady an “epitome of class.“
Shedeur’s appreciation for Tom Brady is apparent, as seen in his last performance and what he had to say about it. “All I was thinking was Brady Mode. That’s it,” he said previously.?Pulling off the Brady Mode, the young quarterback was able to lead the team to the fourth-quarterback greatest comeback since 2005, winning in double overtime.?
