Shedeur Sanders has 5-word reaction to Bronny James' career-best night with Lakers in G-league
Shedeur Sanders will likely be in the NFL after the 2025 draft. Deion Sanders' quarterback son is one of the most exciting prospects in the class of 2025 for franchises looking to solve their quarterback woes.
While Shedeur enjoyed a successful season with the Colorado Buffaloes, he gave a shout-out to LeBron James' son- Bronny James, who just had one of the best games of his career.
Bronny had a great outing in the G League. The 20-year-old lit up the court with a career-high 30 points for the South Bay Lakers in their 106-100 loss to the Valley Suns on Thursday.
In just 25 minutes, Bronny went 13-for-23 from the field and added three rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block. Sanders reposted a graphic uploaded by Sportscenter with Bronny's stats on his Instagram story with the caption:
“Legendary @bronny, Proud of ya.”
Bronny’s road to this milestone hasn’t been easy. He moved from the USC Trojans to the NBA as the No. 55 pick in the 2024 draft. However, injuries have limited his playing time and development.
After making history alongside LeBron James as the first father-son duo to play in the NBA, Bronny is now on a mission of his own.

Shedeur Sanders moved past Bronny James in NIL earnings
Shedeur claimed the crown as the highest-valued NCAA athlete when he surpassed Bronny’s peak NIL earnings last month. King James’ son once registered a NIL peak of $5.9 million before the last NCAA season. Having moved to the NBA, Bronny is now out of the NIL scenario.
As per On3 NIL rankings, the Colorado superstar boasts a valuation of $6.2 million. This makes him above LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne and teammate Travis Hunter, who trailed with NIL valuations of $4.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
Sanders’ rise to fortune at an early age comes from high-profile endorsements and his on-field performances. In August, the Buffs QB became the first college football player to sign an NIL deal with Nike. His deal with Beats by Dre the same month consolidated his position as a marketing juggernaut in whom top brands see value.
With a combined 2.5 million followers on social media, Shedeur Sanders has leveraged his influence to secure partnerships with Mercedes-Benz, Urban Outfitters, and Google, among others.
