“Sanders Boys”: Shilo’s ‘Prime Time’ Achievement Steals Spotlight From Shedeur’s ‘Perfect Timing’ Debut, Leaving Coach Prime in Awe

Black Mafia Fridays (BMF) fans are already going gaga about their season 3. But it’s time to load their fandom as now BMF fans will be joined by college football fans. This will be possible only for one BIG NAME- that is none other than Deion Sanders. Not only Sanders, episode 10 of this season will be tracking the journey of Coach Prime from grit to glory. And guess who will be portraying the Coach’s young version getting a breakthrough in ‘Prime Time’? The Buffaloes’ safety and Sanders’ son, Shilo.

However, with this new chapter, Shilo steals the spotlight that had been on Shedeur who came up with his first song, “Perfect Timing” on May 8. Papa Prime could not resist but admire the “Sanders boys”.

Shilo plays young Prime

Beyond the gridiron, Sanders has found another reason to be proud of Shilo. Sharing a snippet, the Buffs HC took to Instagram to catch the fans’ attention with a surprise, “@bmfstarz Season 3 Episode 10 guess who’s playing a Young PRIME!”. It was then he disclosed the answer as Sanders showered his praise for son Shilo, “I’m so proud of @shilosanders he did the Doggone THANG! Good Lawd the SANDERS boys are exercising all the gifts that GOD gave them and having fun living this life that we only get 1 shot at. Live kids Live. #Dad #Bob”. 

The BMF makers have banked on enough reasons to cast Shilo as the younger version of his father on the silver screen. On an earlier occasion, the Buffs safety ticked off all the points while imitating his father. He even impersonated Coach Prime’s signature style saying, “Dawg! You is a lyricist baby?…What’s the point of lashes, baby?” Coach Prime can’t thank God enough since both his sons are spreading their wings beyond the gridiron. 

Shedeur fame-game in music

If Shilo is making a ‘Prime Time’ debut, his brother, Shedeur is not far behind. The Colorado quarterback has just dropped off his first song called “Perfect Timing”. The lyrics of the two-minute track pay homage to Sanders’ philosophy which is mostly governed by money and luxurious possessions. A Mercedes Maybach and an Audemars Piguet watch also find a spot in the lines of Shedeur’s musical masterpiece. The cover art of the song does all the talking as it features Shedeur striking a pose, and flexing his watch during pregame warmups. 

By trying his luck in music, Shedeur walked in Deion Sanders’ footsteps. Not many of us know, that Coach Prime had a brief stint in musical career during the mid-1990s and even gave birth to a masterpiece album named “Prime Time” in 1994 while he was with the San Francisco 49ers living up his dream amidst a Super Bowl-winning season.

Little did Deion Sanders know that this “Prime Time” would pay him back beautifully after 30 long fyears. The album has been Shedeur’s inspiration to release his song while Shilo features in the series where the episode shares the same name. Hence, now lives of the father-son trio are all woven into one string.
