Can Shilo Sanders balance football and his grandmother's teachings, or is he spreading himself too thin?

Shilo Sanders is a wholesome entertainer! Well, there’s no doubt about that. And the CEO of Headache Gang isn’t limiting himself to one path.

After a personal loss, the Buffs safety realized life is too short to limit himself. He’s now exploring all his passions, including content creation, as he prepares for his professional football career. But here’s the twist—he’s not interested in making sports or football videos on YouTube.

In an August 19th video on ‘Reach the People Media,’ Shilo opened up about his plans. When host Darius Sanders asked what type of videos he’d make if he were a YouTuber, Shilo responded, “The thing is you just don’t want to be in one box, just like football playing.” He shared that he’s more interested in lifestyle content and podcasting, giving the host a run for his money with his new thoughts. Shilo also playfully mentioned wanting to be “more consistent” with his YouTube work, saying, “because I could start paying, you know, like salaries and stuff.”

On a deeper note, Shilo reflected on his late grandmother’s wisdom. “My granny just passed at like 78, and that just showed me like, dang, you only got a certain amount of time to do everything. Whenever you’re just forcing a box, it’s like you’re kind of wasting your life,” he said.

And Shilo is making the most of his time. With a YouTube channel boasting 116k subscribers, he’s already creating fun and diverse content. “I’m trying to use every ability that God gave me,” Shilo adds.

Have an interesting take?

Well, who’s better to deliver great content than the prankster and multitalented member of the Sanders clan?

Content King Shilo Sanders

Shilo Sanders hasn’t been the most consistent with posting on his YouTube channel, but when he does, it’s not usually about the Buffaloes or football. Instead, you’ll find fun clips of him snowboarding or getting his injured pinky fixed. As the Buffs’ defensive star and self-proclaimed “Headache Gang CEO,” Shilo is always cracking jokes and messing around, especially when it comes to imitating his dad, Coach Prime. His spot-on impersonations of his father’s tough love and motivational speeches have even prompted Coach Prime to jokingly say, “You keep me on my knees praying. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have a prayer life.”

Shilo’s knack for impersonation paid off when he was featured in the Black Mafia Family (BMF) series, where he brilliantly portrayed a younger version of his father in the season finale titled “Prime Time,” produced by 50 Cent. But impersonation isn’t his only talent—Shilo is also musically gifted. He’s known to play the keyboard and he’s even said to be the composing brain behind his brother Deion Sanders Jr.’s album “Kandy.”

With such a variety of skills, it’s no wonder fans are eager to see more consistent content from Shilo. As he prepares for the NFL, it’ll be quite interesting to see if he continues to juggle his many talents or becomes more football-focused.
