At the Super Bowl LIX Flag Football game on Saturday, Angel Reese and Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, had a chance meeting that caught everyone’s attention. The NFL organized this flag football game as a pregame show to hype up fans for the highly anticipated Super Bowl matchup on Sunday.
The game featured two teams led by popular streamers IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat. Angel Reese took on the role of coach for Team Cenat, and before the game kicked off, she bumped into Shedeur.
A fan page shared a video of their interaction on Instagram, showcasing the two stars sharing a warm hug. During their brief chat, Reese playfully asked Sanders why he wasn’t playing, to which he humorously replied, “I’m a top 3 pick.”
Angel Reese had an impressive rookie year with the Chicago Sky, dominating the rebounds leaderboard until a wrist injury sidelined her. Now recovered, she’s currently playing for the Rose Basketball Club in the 3×3 basketball league, Unrivaled, alongside stars like Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.
The Super Bowl LIX Flag Football game was a spectacle, featuring the two biggest streamers, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, with rosters full of football superstars. While Team Speed had 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton, Team Cenat boasted legendary coach Michael Vick as quarterback.
Tensions rose when Speed and Cenat engaged in some trash talk, leading Angel Reese to step in with a microphone to calm the situation. Ultimately, she had to separate the two, assuring Cenat that they had Michael Vick on their side.
The game was filled with drama, culminating in Team Speed lifting the trophy after a game-winning pass from Cam Newton to rapper Quavo for the touchdown. With such thrilling moments, fans were left buzzing about the unexpected encounters and the excitement of the day!
