Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders Makes Musical Debut With New Song, ‘Perfect Timing’

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is looking to finish out his college career with another strong season in 2024, ahead of his projected leap to the NFL. That hasn't kept him from pursuing some of his aspirations outside of football during the offseason.

Sanders recently made his musical debut by releasing a hip hop song titled, "Perfect Timing," on which he both sings and raps. Among the topics he touches on include flashy cars, specifically a Maybach, watches and jewelry, as well as making money.

On3 shared a snippet of the song on social media Tuesday. The full song runs for just under two minutes.

Sanders officially released the song on Spotify in late April, with the song's digital artwork being a photo of himself doing his signature watch flex celebration. It's the only song under his discography.

Last year for Colorado, Sanders completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,230 yards, 27 touchdowns and three interceptions.

Colorado's hire of coach Deion Sanders away from Jackson State in Dec. 2022 instantly transformed the Buffaloes into one of the most closely followed teams in college football. Their fanbase expanded overnight as they reeled in television audiences in sizes usually reserved for Alabama or Ohio State.

However, Sanders's methods alienated some—and not just people within the game itself. Many observers took issue with his wholesale turnover of Colorado's roster, which began with the most infamous video of Sanders's tenure.

On Tuesday, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders responded dismissively to one such criticism of his father's methods. In The Athletic, now-UTEP (and former Austin Peay) defensive back Xavier Smith charged the elder Sanders "(destroyed) guys' confidence and belief in themselves)."

"Ion even remember him tbh. Bro had to be very mid at best," Sanders wrote on social media.

The shrug-like tweet drew widespread condemnation, accruing almost three times as many quote-tweets as retweets in about an hour.

Sanders' on-field skills are obvious, but his tact may need some tinkering in 2024 as he presumably eyes the 2025 NFL draft.
