Shedeur Sanders seems to be trying his hardest to get through to the public that he'll be a member of the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2025 season and beyond. Ever since Tom Brady bought a minority stake in the franchise's ownership group, it's been the worst-kept secret in sports that the "Grown QB" wants in on Sin City and vice versa.
Shedeur offered another gesture indicating his interest in the Raiders: his shoes saying "Thank you GOD" with a silver and black colorway.
"While unboxing a new pair of silver and black Nike Air Max DT '96s, the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback revealed a personal touch on the shoes: the phrase 'Thank you GOD' inscribed on the sides. This message matches what Sanders has tweeted after every Raiders loss this season, suggesting he’s following the team closely and perhaps signaling his interest in helping them rebuild. Sanders even gave a shoutout to the Raiders in the video, a move fans took as yet another hint that he envisions himself in the silver and black," On SI's Kenny Lee relayed.
Shedeur Sanders' connection to Antonio Pierce another sign the Raiders are his future
As Lee reports, Shedeur's agency, SMAC Entertainment, also has Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce as a client -- and that should play a role in where Shedeur ends up.
"Adding another layer to the intrigue, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce is represented by SMAC Entertainment, the same agency tied to the Sanders family. This connection has sparked further talk about how close Sanders is to the organization," Lee wrote.
There's alignment from the top down in Las Vegas with connections to the "Grown QB." It'd be a shock to see Shedeur end up anywhere else.
Although from the sounds of it, Coach Prime will have it handled behind the scenes.
