- Sanders. Shilo Sanders finds new job for Deion Sanders that could pull him away from Colorado
Shilo Sanders, recently signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent, is making headlines, not just for his football journey but for his sense of humor. In a light-hearted Instagram video, Shilo teased comedian Desi Banks about his resemblance to the Sanders family, questioning, "Why my dad's saying you look like you're a Sanders?"
The video captures a backstage moment at one of Banks' comedy shows, where Shilo and Desi engage in playful banter. Shilo, amused by his father's comment, expresses skepticism about adding another member to their already large family. Desi, embracing the joke, responds with a confident "I am," suggesting he fits right in.
Deion Sanders s the fun
Deion Sanders, affectionately known as "Coach Prime," didn't miss the opportunity to the jest. During a phone call featured in the video, he quips that Desi Banks resembles his son Shedeur, noting, "Desi Banks looks like y'all," and adding that Desi has a "Shedeur head." Shilo, laughing, questions the comparison, asking, "Which one of us does Desi Banks look like?"
The exchange showcases the close-knit and humorous dynamics of the Sanders family. Despite recent challenges - Shedeur's unexpected drop to the fifth round in the NFL Draft and Shilo going undrafted - the family maintains a positive and united front.
Deion, reflecting on the pre-draft criticisms of his sons, expressed that while the experience was hurtful, it ultimately provided them with motivation to prove themselves.
As Shilo continues to adapt to his new role with the Buccaneers, it's evident that the Sanders family's bond and humor remain strong, offering both and levity amid the pressures of professional sports.
