Shedeur and Shilo Sanders: Are they the true embodiment of family values in college football?

If you have been following the lifestyle of the former wife of the football star, Pilar Sanders, then you know that Pilar has always supported her sons and has often been seen on the sidelines of football games, cheering for her family: her ex-husband and her two sons. Shedeur is a quarterback while Shilo is a defensive back; playing together, they are not only performing well on the field, but they are living their parents’ dream.

Pilar got emotional on her IG account and told her followers how proud she is of her sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, who are already playing college football for the Colorado Buffaloes team coached by their father ‘Coach Prime’. Pilar, who is a proud football mom, rejoiced and looked at the camera saying that this has always been the family’s “dream plan” and now, it’s about to be a reality. 

In her comments, she said: “Wow! So grateful and excited to have two sons playing college football together on the same team and coached by their dad!” She said the road has been long, rigorous and even painful, yet it all has had a point – the competition. ‘”It was always our dream plan,” she said as she recounted how proud she is of both her sons. Pilar made sure that from the onset, she has always supported Shilo #21 and Shedeur #2 in their football endeavors.

When Shedeur and Shilo step out on the field, they don’t just bear the name of Sanders but also years of effort, dedication, and achievements. Pilar has always been their number one fan, and she wears both her son’s jerseys in most of her posts. But this success did come overnight, the whole fam has worked for it!

The support and sacrifice behind the success

The Sanders family has everything to do with football, and more than that – football is a legacy that unites this family. Coach Prime is a head coach and is busy raising the next generation. His sons are active players on the Colorado Buffaloes team. It can be seen that the family has been actively involved in the sport for many years, and it can be ascertained that football has always played a major role in their lives.

What’s your perspective on:

Shedeur and Shilo Sanders: Are they the true embodiment of family values in college football?

Have an interesting take?

To see Shedeur and Shilo mimic their father is a true indication of how far and embedded football is in the Sanders’ household. Although the Sanders family is finally having this moment of success, it has not been easy. They have had to face some inevitable compromises. The fact that both boys are playing for their dad at the college level adds an extra layer of meaning to this family dream coming to life.

For Pilar, the match and victory have always been there, as she provided her sons with the strength and encouragement to go through good and bad in their football careers, as well as in their lives. It’s evident that she had waited for this moment and hence captioned the Instagram post with lots of thanksgiving, beginning with years of diligence. The journey has not been easy, but the fruits are now ripe.
