To this, Shedeur replied:
"A'ight, a'ight. Respect."
In a separate interview on Friday,͏ Vic͏k shared his admiration for both Sande͏r͏s and Cam Ward, another top quarterback prosp͏ect.

Shedeur Sanders holds Michael Vick in high regard, both as a mentor and a football icon. During a conversation with ESPN on Saturday, Sanders shared how much he values his interactions with the former NFL quarterback.
"The main one is Mike Vick," Sanders said. "I sat down and talked to him a lot at the East-West Shrine game and it was just good connecting with him. And I know we are playing in the game Saturday together, which would be fun, but I just love being around him, love talking to him, love hearing his insight."
He recalled spending time with Vick at the East-West Shrine Bowl, where they had deep conversations about football and life.
When asked about the most important lesson he learned from Vick, Sanders said:
"Just keep doing you. It's hard to give one piece of advice because it's about life."
Sanders explained that their conversations go beyond just football, as they cover different aspects of life, both on and off the field.
