Deion Sanders Jr has set the record straight about the amount of cash younger brother Shedeur was partying with after his NFL Draft nightmare ended last week.
Shedeur, the youngest of NFL legend Deion’s three sons, suffered humiliation at the draft despite initially being touted as one of the top quarterback prospects in this year’s class.
In the end, the 23-year-old fell all the way to the 144th overall pick before the Cleveland Browns eventually took him in the fifth round.
After his move to the big leagues was finally confirmed, Shedeur still partied like a top draft pick when he busted out a Louis Vuitton chest full of $100 bills at a Dallas club on Saturday night.
He celebrated his deal with the Browns in a star-studded party at Hyde & Seek, where the likes of Kodak Black, Yung Miami and his rumored girlfriend, Jamaican dancehall star Shenseea, were in attendance.
The following day, reports emerged on social media that Sanders had been ‘flexing over $100k in cash’ when he was seen posing with the Louis Vuitton chest on the night.

Yet older brother Deion quickly took to X to claim he was actually boasting $1million in the briefcase, and it had been given to him at the party as a gift.
‘Let’s tell the correct story now… It was actually a gift that he received…. and it was a million,’ the 31-year-old wrote.
Shedeur stayed up past 2am with a big group of friends and family – including his older siblings Deiondra and Deion Jr – according to Page Six.
The former Colorado quarterback celebrated with his briefcase full of money while the DJ bumped popular hip hop tunes.
Bottle girls arrived in his section with a lit up sign that read ‘5TH ROUND PICK’ as Don Julio 1942 tequila and Ace of Spades champagne bottles were passed around for his guests, as seen in a video.
But don’t assume Sanders was inebriated in the clip. As he revealed on his podcast back in February, he’s actually a teetotaler.
‘I don’t drink. I don’t do that type of stuff. It’s not like too much I couldn’t do. Dad gave us the freedom, I’ll say, to do what we wanted to do to bump our heads a little bit when we were younger to get back on the track.’
In addition to the briefcases, Shedeur was seen sporting a brand new ‘iced-out’ chain around his neck.
He would have been looking at a $40 million rookie deal had he been drafted among the first 10 picks, but is instead looking at a four-year deal worth about $4.6 million, including a $446,553 signing bonus, according to the NFL rookie salary scale.
