Shilo Sanders is no stranger to bold moves, whether on the field or in front of the camera.

While his younger brother Shedeur is widely considered a future first-round NFL draft pick, Shilo is carving out his own spotlight-with a bit of comedy and candid commentary along the way.

During a recent episode of the "We Got Time Today" show, Shilo ed his father, Deion Sanders, and host Rocsi Diaz for what was supposed to be a wholesome family segment. But in true Shilo fashion, the safety delivered a curveball when asked about life lessons from his father.

Without missing a beat, he joked, "He used ChatGPT for all that," catching Coach Prime off-guard and the internet completely off-guard-in the best way.

Deion, clearly caught by surprise, tried to downplay the moment, insisting, "I don't even know what that means." Shilo quickly tried to pivot, backpedaling with praise: "I was just bragging about him." But the joke had already landed, sparking a wave of reactions online-and giving birth to the nickname "Prime-GPT."

More than a comedian: Shilo's NFL path and package deal talk

While the viral moment made headlines, it was what followed that could hold real NFL implications. Shilo subtly floated the idea of a "package deal" with his brother Shedeur-possibly to the New Orleans Saints under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

"We might package deal this thing," he said, even suggesting Coach Prime could them down the road.

Though Shilo's draft projection lingers in the later rounds or even undrafted territory, his on-field performance speaks volumes. At 6'0", 195 pounds, he offers strong instincts, versatility at both safety spots, and high motor play that NFL coaches covet in depth players or special teams contributors.

He may not be the headline-grabber Shedeur is, but Shilo brings grit, energy, and just enough unpredictability to be worth a look. Whether or not the Saints pursue the Sanders duo, don't be surprised if Shilo makes a roster and keeps chirping-all while hitting hard.
