Rick Ross shouts out Shedeur Sanders for pregame watch floss
Shedeur Sanders doesn't have many fans in Nebraska. However, he has at least one in Miami. The legendary hip hop icon Rick Ross applauded the Buffs QB for standing his ground against Huskers players on Saturday.
Nebraska coach Matt Rhule sent his team out to intimidate Sanders and other Buffs players by having a team meeting on CU's logo at midfield. The actions didn't sit right with Shedeur, who tried to ignore the disrespect before he told the Huskers what time it was about to be.
Ross acknowledged Sanders' resilience in the situation and said, "From now on, Colorado needs to show off their watches more often." He even called on Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to "do the Shedeur" by "putting your watch in their throats."
Colorado didn't need any extra motivation. They've dealt with a lot of criticism over Coach Prime's unconventional coaching tactics. It's also a reason why the Buffs started out the season with two straight wins.
“It was extremely personal, you go out there and warm up and you’ve got the head coach from the other team standing in the middle of the Buff,” Sanders said in his post game press conference.
“It’s okay if a couple of players do it. It’s fine, just enjoy the scenery. But when you’ve got the whole team trying to disrespect it, I’m not going for that at all. I went in there and disrupted it. The Buffaloes mean a lot to me — personally — and that’s what I was saying in pregame. And that’s when I knew it was extreme disrespect.
"The coach said a lot of things about my pops about the program. I don’t respect that because you’re hating on another man. All respect was gone for them and their program."
Sanders has balled out and let his play do the talking. He threw for 393 yards with three total touchdowns against Nebraska. A week after becoming the first Buffs QB to throw for over 500 yards.
