All’s well that ends well. But man, what a wild few days it’s been for the Sanders crew. The 2025 NFL Draft put everyone through the wringer. But for Deion Sanders and the boys, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
First off, Shedeur Sanders had to sit there and hear 143 names before finally getting that call from the Cleveland Browns at No. 144. Imagine being projected as a first-rounder and then slipping down to R5! And he was even hit with a brutal prank call before his real moment. Well, who does that to someone who’s already going through enough? Total rollercoaster.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Shilo Sanders didn’t even hear his name called at all! Seven rounds. No call. Brutal. But hey, after the dust settled, the safety found a home. Now that the draft war zone is in the rearview, Deion Sanders is back to doing what he does best—being dad. And this time, it’s about his “Bossy.”
Deion Sanders’ youngest, Shelomi Sanders, decided to lit up Instagram with fire on April 27. She popped on the platform, standing tall on a red carpet, glammed up in a flattering tight black one-piece outfit, flaunting those long legs and that Sanders swagger. Her caption? “Keep up ” Deion Sanders is never far behind in keeping up with his kids, and of course, he was there. “Lil Shawt baby,” he wrote in the comments. Replying to her dad, she wrote, “It’s the camera angle ” You can’t deny, the Sanders family stays undefeated when it comes to family vibes.
Talking about vibes, when Shedeur was drafted, he displayed the antics of a 23-year-old dancing with Shilo, Shelomi, and his mom, Pilar Sanders. It turned into Club Sanders real quick. The 21-year-old sister, who’s a basketball player at Alabama A&M, didn’t waste the moment. Posting a happy family photo with her mom and dad and two brothers, she wrote—“proof that greatness runs deep.” She was already there on Thursday night, prepping with her mom for her “brother’s draft night.”
Shelomi Sanders didn’t leave TikTok aside either. Posting the video of her dance with her mom and Shedeur, she showed off her excitement for her brother’s new team. “Cleveland Wasssuppppp ” she wrote in the caption. You can tell, even with the draft drama, this family moves as one.
As for Deion Sanders, he kept the tone down with a short but thoughtful message on X to celebrate his son’s future—“Thank you GOD.” And while Shedeur’s NFL dream got a slight delay, Shilo had to take the back roads to get his.

Watching those final picks on Twitch was tough. But the 25-year-old got to pick his next move. And Shilo being Shilo, made a joke about firing Deion Sanders as his agent. “Dad was our agent but that hasn’t been working out too good,” he said on Twitch. “So today I had to sign with an agent. So, we’re going to see what happens.” And he went out and signed with Drew Rosenhaus, the shark of NFL agents. And that move bore fruits.
Shilo Sanders locked in with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. Not the storybook ending he might’ve dreamed of, but you know what they say, it’s not about how you get there, it’s what you do when you arrive. And he’s got the game to make the roster. He led the CU Buffs in tackles in 2023 (70) and was top-3 last year (67) even after missing three games with a broken forearm. He also recorded two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, one sack, one forced fumble, and a defensive TD in his final collegiate season under Deion Sanders.
“They tested us this draft,” Shilo said. Deion Sanders didn’t miss a beat either, “They tested the whole family.” But you know, it has always been this way, and the Sanders family? They’re built for adversity.
