Story Highlights:

Antonio Brown criticized Shilo Sanders as “overrated” following his ejection and release from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Coach Deion Sanders emphasized Shilo’s versatility, assuring that his son has other talents and a bright future beyond football.

Former NFL star Antonio Brown took a shot against Shilo Sanders on Friday. Coach Prime's son got cut from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his "inexcusable" punching incident during their preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills.

The ex-Pittsburgh Steelers star replied to a video clip shared by Dov Kleiman that showed Brown showing off his skills during a practice session with Shilo Sanders. In the video, he safety failed to block the Super Bowl LV champ while sprinted down his route.

Brown said that he always thought Shilo to be an overrated player heading into the NFL.

"Yall tried to gas him. ... I've always known," AB said.

 

 

Shilo received serious backlash after throwing a punch at Bills TE Zach Davidson during the match. He got ejected by officials, after which Bucs coach Todd Bowles called it "inexcusable behaviour."

After the Bucs waived the safety, Antonio Brown posted a tweet about both Shilo and Shedeur ending up getting cut out of the NFL. Unlike his brother, Shedeur sealed a spot on the Cleveland Browns' 53-man squad. He was named the third-string option, behind QB1 Joe Flacco and backup Dillon Gabriel.

During Tuesday's press conference, Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders talked about his soon, Shilo's future in the league after being waived by Todd Bowles' Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Coach Prime revealed that he is not worried because Shilo has other talents besides football. He also mentioned how he would come forward to look after and take care of his son as he figures out his future.

"So, Shilo is a man of many talents," Coach Prime said. "I don't know if you guys know, he's a man of many talents, and he's gonna be straight. All the Sanders are gonna be straight, with him with football. You better believe that.

 

 

"I take care of mine, and I always have. All y'all know what I mean. You better believe that."

 

 

Shilo Sanders posted a video on YouTube, hinting at the career paths he can choose other than football.
