Deion Sanders has always been open on social media, but his most recent post created an unexpectedly funny moment.
The head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes used social media to commend his former players who took part in the East-West Shrine Bowl, among them Will Sheppard, LaJohntay Wester, Jimmy Horn Jr., Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, and Shilo Sanders. His caption stated, “I cherish each one of these young men as if they were my own.”
The twist of fate? One of them belonged to him.
Shilo Sanders, the son of Deion, was among three Colorado players who participated in the all-star game. Although Shedeur Sanders and Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig watched from the sidelines, Shilo stepped onto the field, eager to showcase his potential as an NFL candidate.
Even though the West team lost 25-0, Shilo had an impact, playing well on defense and special teams. He entered the game with a chip on his shoulder, keen to quiet the critics who had analyzed his performances before the event.
Following the game, Shilo was candid in discussing the criticism related to his performance. “I demonstrated to others today—don’t trust all that you read,” he stated. “I am able to play football.” If you claim I can’t play football, simply watch the film.

Recognizing that he faced challenges during individual drills in practice, he stayed assured in his overall skills. “I have the impression that they will criticize everything.” I believe I had a strong week of training. Sure, in individual meetings, I was a bit uncertain, but I can manage. Clearly, if you observe today, you will notice that.
Deion Sanders’ team prepared to extend an offer to Peyton Manning’s 13-year-old son following the Pro Bowl.
With the NFL Draft process heating up, Shilo is focused on boosting his draft status. Currently positioned as the 235th-best prospect by Pro Football Focus, he’s anticipated to be a potential seventh-round selection. At the same time, his younger sibling, Shedeur, is largely viewed as a likely first-round pick.

Shilo still has more to demonstrate. Now that the Shrine Bowl is over, he is directing his attention to Colorado’s Pro Day, where he will again have the chance to demonstrate his speed, versatility, and football intelligence to NFL scouts.
