Sheduer and his father, Deion Sanders, were guests on Brady’s Let’s Go podcast.
Towards the end of the conversation, Deion asked the 15X Pro Bowler if his son required the Rolls Royce he purchased for himself.

Less time in the car and more time in the film room.” However, all was done as part of a hilarious banter between the two thick mates.
