For Coach Prime, Shilo Sanders is proving to be a real heel spur. Shedeur moves like a polished quarterback with a pro-ready narrative. Shilo brings the chaotic energy that doesn’t always follow the script. He is brash, unpredictable, and has no problem throwing curveballs. Well…even when the target is his own father. And this time, the former Buffs’ safety decided to playfully tease his dad on air.

On the “We Got Time Today” show with Deion Sanders and Rocsi Diaz, the cameras caught Shilo turning what was supposed to be a nice family chat into a bit of an unscripted roast session. Coach Prime was definitely taken aback, but the internet? They were loving it. Deion Sanders is definitely known for those classic lines—“Look good, feel good, feel good, play good,” and “Time is a wonderful storyteller.” You could probably fill a whole book with them. Plus, he’s always dropping those bits of wisdom about life and discipline that make you wonder where it all comes from. Well, while the show was aiming to share some inspiration from the Sanders family, Shilo decided to inject some comedy right in the middle.

Rocsi asked a pretty easy question: “Is there life lessons that you guys take to heart every single day? I know there’s many because he drops the wisdom all the time but…” That’s when Shilo dropped his little bomb. “He used ChatGPT by the way for all that,” Shilo joked. “I was like, you don’t use that. That’s the AI. That’s the AI.”

The room froze. You could see Coach Prime’s face immediately switching to that ‘I’m about to have a word with you off-camera’ dad look. Deion fired back, “I don’t even know what that means,” visibly trying to maintain composure while the camera rolled. The iconic coach wasn’t ready for the ambush. Shilo Sanders, grinning but sensing danger, quickly attempted a pivot. “You don’t use it,” he said, switching his tone. “I was just bragging about him. He has so much wisdom and riddles. He never runs out.” Well, it’s too late. The Prime-GPT jokes are already out in the wild.

But beneath the laugh-track moment was a real spotlight on Shilo—someone long overshadowed by his brother’s stardom and his dad’s legend. Unlike Shedeur Sanders, who’s penciled into every draft board’s top five, Shilo is hovering in late-round projections, possibly even undrafted territory. Still, he put up respectable numbers as a safety—his 4.52-second 40-yard dash may not be Olympic, but it’s still solid for his position. It’s not the 4.4 Deion challenged him to hit, but considering his instincts and ability to read coverages, Shilo’s speed is serviceable. He’s rangy enough to play either strong or free safety and bring value on special teams.

There’s also the sneaky suspicion that Shilo might not be headed to the NFL alone. As he himself speculated, the rumor of the potential of a “package deal” with Shedeur. And the New Orleans Saints are quietly at the center of it. Shilo didn’t exactly squash the idea either. In the same episode, the idea floated mid-discussion, without dismissal. “We’re a package deal, so we might package deal this thing. We might bring Coach Prime in a few years, too.” Considering Kellen Moore’s system and his eye for dual-threat talent, it wouldn’t be completely off-script for the Saints to snag both brothers in one swoop.

While on paper, it sounds like a marketing stunt, there’s a practical side to the move. Shedeur brings poise and NFL-caliber pocket presence. Shilo? He brings edge, physicality, and the kind of locker-room spark coaches quietly crave. Whether it’s a Day 3 flyer or a priority UDFA, he’ll be in a camp this summer—and probably chirping in his brother’s ear while doing it. His tape shows a willingness to hit, decent ball tracking. The same guy who said his dad uses ChatGPT might just bring an old-school punch to a modern defense.

Don’t sleep on Shilo Sanders; he could be a sneaky Day 3 steal

While Shedeur Sanders continues to hog the spotlight as a potential franchise quarterback and surefire first-rounder, his big brother Shilo might just be carving out his own path to the NFL—quietly, but confidently.

The Colorado safety brings more to the table than just the famous last name. At 6’0″, 195 pounds, Shilo’s got the physical tools and the instincts that make him intriguing. He’s got a true nose for the ball and a knack for generating turnovers—something NFL teams love in late-round prospects. His football IQ is strong, and he offers the flexibility to play either safety spot at the next level.

Now, he’s not a can’t-miss prospect. There’s still some refining to do—particularly with his tackling technique, play recognition, and man coverage. But with some solid coaching and a good system, Shilo has the makeup to be a quality depth piece early in his career. He may not have the high ceiling of a superstar, but he’s absolutely worth a Day 3 flyer. Teams looking to shore up the secondary with a smart, physical, and motivated safety could do a lot worse than rolling the dice on a Sanders.
