Shedeur’s strange birthday gift for Monken

Also, for his unique gift Monken for his 60th birthday on February 5.

“I’ve talked to [Sanders] three times, I think, he’s come in to see me,” Monken told CBS Sports at the NFL combine this week. “In fact, for my birthday, I got this package. Like, all of a sudden, Feb. 5, this package comes. I thought it was from my wife. … Open it up, it’s this porcelain horse head. And it’s from Shedeur. He sent me a gift on my birthday.

At least it wasn’t a real horse’s head like something out of the Godfather movie, and was a the opposite gesture.

Too bad he didn’t get him one of his Legendary chains they could rock together.
