Interestingly, much of Sanders' value is derived from his off-field persona. He's become something of a media darling since joining the Colorado Buffaloes, drawing interest from a number of big-money brands.

With most NIL deal amounts not made public, the exact valuation of Sanders' NIL earnings is unclear. On3's NIL valuation system suggested that Sanders netted at least $6.5 million in NIL payouts during his collegiate career. The actual figure could be larger.

Shedeur Sanders business ventures

Sanders isn't wanting for attention. In fact, he thrives off of it, leveraging his marketability to become an off-the-field superstar in recent years.

He has a sizable social media presence and can claim nearly 4 million followers across X, Instagram and TikTok. Sanders also partnered with Overtime to launch a podcast in 2024, entitled "2 Legendary", a nod to his preferred number, go-to quote and personal brand name.

Sanders garnered additional interest via his father's Amazon docuseries, "Coach Prime." He's also a fairly successful musical artist — his 2024 release, "Perfect Timing," has nearly 8 million streams on Spotify and another 1.1 million views on YouTube.

He also shelled out $45,000 (via Gatorade) to gift the N.E.D. Falcons Youth Organization new practice equipment and uniforms in 2023. A 2025 charity appearance at the Garden Valley Apartments — a southeast Cleveland apartment complex that was ravaged by a gas explosion — appears to indicate that philanthropy remains a central focus for Sanders as his career progresses, too.
