Before even taking a single NFL snap, Shedeur Sanders is proving he’s more than just a fifth-round draft pick; he’s a marketing powerhouse. The former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback has become a breakout star in Cleveland, not only for his football potential but also for the tidal wave of attention surrounding his personal brand.
Now, the Cleveland Browns are getting in on the action with their bold new “Perfect Timing” merch drop, a move clearly inspired by Sanders’ signature watch celebration and red-hot popularity.
Cleveland Launches Shedeur Sanders Perfect Timing Themed Designs To Capitalize on Star Appeal
Sanders was selected by the Browns with the 144th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Though his draft position surprised many, it hasn’t slowed his momentum one bit.
Instead, he’s surged ahead, already claiming the No. 1 spot in rookie jersey sales, even without being assigned an official number. His fan-driven rise continues to defy expectations, setting a new standard for how rookies can impact the league both on and off the field.
The buzz began when Deion Sanders Jr.’s media company, Well Off Media, shared a post showing Browns-themed watches listed on NFLShop.com. Fans quickly connected the dots, linking the watches to Shedeur’s now-iconic “watch flex,” a celebratory move he often used during big plays at Colorado.
While those watches were standard-issue NFL merchandise and not officially linked to Sanders, the timing of the post helped fuel speculation that the Browns were already embracing the “Perfect Timing” branding associated with their new quarterback.
Now, Cleveland has leaned into the narrative. Capitalizing on Shedeur’s booming popularity, the team has launched a line of Browns merchandise inspired by the “Perfect Timing” theme, a nod to both Sanders’ on-field confidence and the branding he’s carefully cultivated through his independent apparel label, 2Legendary.
That label, by the way, sold out completely just days after draft night, highlighting Sanders’ rare ability to move product as both an NFL player and entrepreneur.
Sanders’ instant impact in Cleveland’s merch scene is unlike anything seen from a fifth-round pick. He’s built a loyal following through authenticity, charisma, and a deep social media presence, all of which were amplified during his time at Colorado playing under his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders.

While many analysts debated his draft stock, fans rallied behind him, eager to support someone who didn’t wait for the league’s approval to start building his legacy.
Whether it’s officially licensed Browns gear or his own 2Legendary creations, one thing is clear: Shedeur Sanders is a marketing force. And if the early returns are any indication, “Perfect Timing” is more than a slogan. For the Browns and their bold new QB, it’s the start of something big.
