Former NFL player and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders' two sons, Shedeur and Shilo, were part of the 2025 NFL draft. While Shedeur was picked by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, his elder brother went undrafted.
Shilo was eventually signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. However, he was released by the team after punching a Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson in a preseason game.
The Colorado Buffaloes coach joined "First Take" during Super Bowl week and talked about his family. In the conversation, he talked about Shilo being cut by the Buccaneers.
"But it was tough for the Sanders family. Both of my daughters, Shilo getting cut. He went out swinging … I gotta give him that," Deion said. "He went out swinging literally."
Shilo was removed from the game after punching Davidson and was fined $4,669 by the league for his actions. He cleared waivers and stayed without a team during the 2025 season.
He hinted at taking up other roles after being cut by the Buccaneers in August.
"I've been talking to my agent, and we're waiting on the next opportunity, if that's the NFL cool, but God's blessed me with a lot of talents to do other things other than play football,” Sanders said.
