Shilo Sanders knew there was a chance he would go undrafted this year. The Colorado safety sat back and watched names fly off the board while trying to encourage his brother, Shedeur Sanders, who had one of the most notable draft slides in NFL history.

Shedeur Sanders is used to having his older brother Shilo Sanders around. The two former Colorado Buffaloes teammates and sons of Deion Sanders have a close bond, but now are in new cities with new teams.

Coach Prime's sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, are settling well into their NFL teams. Shedeur is lighting it up at the Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp, while Shilo is duking it out with draft picks and undrafted free agents for a spot on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers active roster.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and defensive back Shilo Sanders fell further than most expected in the 2025 NFL draft. However, the sons of former NFL star and current Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders have seemingly done everything right since receiving the draft call.

As Sanders entered his press conference at Bucs minicamp Saturday, he couldn't help but smile. And before he stepped in front of the microphone, he began with quite the polite gesture for the media members in attendance.

As former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders started slipping in the 2025 NFL Draft, President Donald Trump sent out a post on social media in an effort to end the slide. Trump posted on Truth Social the Friday of the draft that Shedeur Sanders was set for “greatness” and should be “picked immediately by a team that wants to win.”
