Shedeur Sanders met Lil Wayne earlier this year

Back in March, before the NFL draft took place, Sheeur Sanders opened up about meeting five-time Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne. Wayne is a fan of the Colorado Buffaloes, Shedeur's college football team. The rapper also shares a close bond with Deion Sanders.

Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Sanders said that while he doesn't get starstruck often, meeting Lil Wayne was one of the most exciting moments of his life.

"Nah, I never got starstuck. Maybe (Lil) Wayne, Wayne probably. But not starstruck just you know, excited to meet him," Shedeur said.

Sanders also revealed how he tries to make the fans who may get starstruck by him comfortable:

"I think it's cool. Like, I think it's like 'Dang,' you know, 'I have that type of effect on people.' And I'm thankful and I'm appreciative for it. And when people act nervous to take a picture. I just say like, come on, take a picture, you ain't gotta be nervous."

On the gridiron, Shedeur Sanders started his first-ever NFL game when he made his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns during the preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie earned massive praise from the fans and experts for his performance as he was able to lead the Browns to a 30-10 victory.
