“Do Without Your Daddy”: Shedeur Sanders Takes an Indirect Jab at Nepotism Critics During Lighthearted Moment With Brother Shilo

Nepotism is something that all of Deion Sanders’ kids know very well about since they have been held at that edge because of this. It’s time for Coach Prime’s squad to take action against the allegations, and what better platform than the “Well Off Media” YouTube page?

Hence, Shedeur takes charge by passing an indirect jab on nepotism while engaging in a playful banter with brother Shilo. Now that the Colorado Buffaloes’ safety has a huge responsibility as he plays the younger version of his father on screens, Shedeur could not let go of that opportunity. 

Shedeur’s remark sheds light on the nepotism narrative

Time has arrived for Shedeur to overturn his “nepo baby” narrative. By now, we are all aware that Shilo has yet another responsibility to make his father proud besides fulfilling his role as the Buffs’ safety. As his first silver screen breakthrough, he will be playing the role of Deion in the BMF series. Amidst their practice, while talking about how Deion has been very particular about how Shilo is going to do justice to his character, the safety said, “Then I showed Dad and Dad was like do it you got to do it like this dog if you going to be playing me you got to do it like this…when I got there and he picked out all his clothes that he would wear.”

Right then, Shedeur thought it wise to step into the conversation with his expert commentary. The quarterback quipped, drawing reference to the nepotism allegations brought against them before, and said, “Do without your daddy.” Shilo had his answer ready and replied, “You think I’m acting like me? I’m acting like him.” The nepotism allegation against Shedeur now is not only restricted to the core game. 

Shedeur facing realities of public perception

Earlier, Shedeur’s talents came under the critical radar after he emerged as the most sacked player during the last season. The critics questioned his skills and lived by the firm belief that since the quarterback is Deion Sanders’ son, he often gets the attention he hardly deserves. Coach Prime himself addressed the issue, “The kid can flat-out play. I know a lot of people doubted him and said I just thrust him into the starting position. What they call it? Nepotism? All of you should just look in the mirror and slap whatever you see.”

Time proved everyone wrong since if it had been that only nepotism drew the sports world forward, then Shedeur would have been featured on the EA Sports College Football 25 cover instead of Travis Hunter. During a recent episode of the Zero 2 Sixty Podcast, former offensive guard Matt McChesney spoke of how the quarterback got snubbed, “People aren’t going to just be buying the game because Prime and Shedeur on the cover there’s going to be a lot of people that don’t buy the game because they’d be on the cover. The hate is real out there.”

However, time right now is too costly for Shedeur to spend on anything other than working on himself. Since he has reached the last lap in his college football career and considering the substandard climax of the last season, the quarterback has a lot of unfinished business. NFL 2024 awaits Shedeur Sanders!
