EA College Football appears to add Shedeur Sanders 'Show the Ice' watch celebration to game controls
Ahead of Colorado‘s Week 2 win over Nebraska in the 2023 campaign, Shedeur Sanders captured the nation’s attention when he flexed his custom Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 watch. The movement became synonymous with Sanders and spread across the country.
Evidently, the celebration has now transcended the physical realm. On Monday, a still image of a list of celebrations featured in the highly-anticipated “EA Sports College Football 25” game surfaced on X. A celebration titled, “TD: Salute or Show The Ice (Colorado Only),” was included in the list, seemingly alluding to Sanders’ celebration.
Sanders won’t have to wait long to break out the celebration again. Colorado will kick off the 2024 season with a showdown against North Dakota State on Aug. 29. Expectations are high for Sanders, who ESPN projected to be the No. 2 overall pick in its latest 2025 NFL mock draft.
In his first season at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders exploded for 298 completions on 430 attempts (69.3%) for 3,230 passing yards and 31 total touchdowns. Additionally, Sanders notched 111 carries for 394 yards and four scores.
With a revamped offensive line, Colorado fans only expect Sanders’ numbers to improve in the upcoming season. According to FanDuel, Sanders currently has +4000 odds to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy.
