Shedeur Sanders watch celebration, explained: Kyle Hamilton trolls Browns rookie QB with iconic hand gesture image

Professional athletes can be remembered for a variety of reasons. Some let their stats speak for themselves, while others like to do an action or motion to celebrate that becomes synonymous with them/

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders started a simple celebration while he was playing at Colorado. When Sanders would score or have a big play, he would simply raise his forearm with his arm extended, like he was showing off a watch. 

Unfortunately, Sanders learned the hard way early in his career that his celebration can also be used to taunt him, like Baltimore Ravens defender Kyle Hamilton did when he sacked the Browns quarterback for the first time in his career. 

Here is more on Sanders' iconic watch celebration.

Whenever Sanders would score a touchdown on the field or make a big play, he would hold up his wrist, pretendining to show a watch. That was exactly his intention because he is a watch aficionado. After beating Arizona State in a game in 2023, Sanders put on his watch, ran to the student section and flexed his $70,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 to the crowd. 

While Sanders no longer puts on a physical watch for the celebration, he still holds it up in his celebration.

Shedeur Sanders net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Sanders' net worth is $4 million. While the quarterback likely earned a substantial amount of NIL money in college, in the NFL, he was selected as a fifth-round pick. Sanders is set to make only $955,548 during his rookie season. While we don't have his official NIL earnings, he likely made more in his two years at Colorado than he will as a rookie in the NFL, barring a contract restructuring.
