Tom Brady is an ardent admirer of Shedeur Sanders.
Shedeur Sanders led Colorado to a thrilling victory over Colorado State on Saturday night, a game that captivated fans, including Tom Brady.
Facing a 28-20 deficit with just two minutes left on the clock, the quarterback orchestrated an impressive 98-yard touchdown drive and executed a two-point conversion to force the game into overtime. He then connected for two more touchdowns with Michael Harrison, securing a memorable 43-35 win.
When asked about his mindset while starting from his own two-yard line late in the fourth quarter, Sanders invoked his legendary mentor, adopting a “Brady mode” mentality.
“If he can do it, I know I can do it,” Sanders remarked. “We’re cut from the same cloth.”
Brady responded on Twitter with two emojis and shared an additional message on Instagram, expressing his desire to channel his inner “Shedeur mode” at some point in his life.
Sanders concluded the game with an impressive stat line of 348 yards, four touchdowns, and his sole interception of the season. Through three remarkable performances, the junior quarterback has amassed 1,251 yards, 10 touchdowns, and an outstanding completion rate of 78.7%.
What sets Sanders apart from other college players is his direct connection with an all-time great. Sanders has had the privilege of working with Brady and revealed that the seven-time Super Bowl champion sends him texts after every game.

Following Sanders’ record-breaking debut at Colorado, where he threw for a school-record 510 yards, Brady offered sage advice to the young quarterback, encouraging him not to become complacent. Brady also lauded Sanders’ performance after Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes delivered a stunning victory over TCU in Week 1.
Brace yourself for the possibility of witnessing Sanders tapping into his inner “Brady mode” once more when Colorado embarks on a road trip to face Oregon in the upcoming weekend.
