Shedeur Sanders sparked a viral debate when fans thought he was wearing a thong during the Titans game. A quick camera angle showed a thin tan strap as he got up from a tackle, and social media exploded with jokes and theories.
Some were sure it was a thong. Others argued it was a jock strap or compression gear. The clip took over the timeline within minutes.
Shedeur Sanders has now cleared it up himself, confirming he wasn’t wearing a thong at all.

Some fans had fun with it anyway. “Inspired by Playboi Carti,” and “So what? Idc what type of drawers he wears.” One even dropped a GIF and said, “Don’t look now but I’m wearing a man thong.”
Then there were the debates from people who claimed they knew the gear. “Not a thong… it’s a lower back pack for pain! Y’all be reaching 😌.” But someone else jumped right back with, “Just Fyi… that ISN’T a jockstrap.”
Through all the noise, one fan summed up the vibe perfectly: “Yeah you can wear whatever tf you want if you throw for 364 yards in the NFL💯💯💯.”
And just when the back-and-forth reached its peak, the truth came out. Shedeur Sanders has cleared everything up during a call with Shilo Sanders, ending all the rumors in one shot.
