$17.7 Billion Fast Food Chain Unites Shilo, Shedeur Sanders, & Travis Hunter in an NIL Commitment Post-Practice

The Sanders are in for another “finger lickin’ good” time! Last year in June, Deion Sanders struck a deal with the $17.7 billion giant fast food company which is an attempt by the company to highlight the importance of family. Coach Prime said, “KFC has been a lunch and dinnertime go-to for the Sanders family since I was a kid, and my kids loved this tradition as well. Game days, family and a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken have always brought he memorable moments, so this partnership is a real family affair. It’s Prime Time, baby”

After his endorsement, Deion Sanders and his athlete sons Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders first appeared in a KFC commercial in September 2023. But now, it looks like the sons are flying with KFC without Prime. This time, there’s no Coach Prime in the latest fast food venture with the Smash’d Bowls! 

Colorado Buffs trio enjoys KFC’s new Smash’d Bowls

Feast your eyes on the recent IG upload by Shilo Sanders as he enjoys the new Smash’d Potato Bowls with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in a paid partnership with KFC. He advertised the delicacy in his caption that read, “These @KFC Smash’d Bowls come in clutch every time. Get yours now for only $3.49.” Shilo Sanders commented that it’s the “perfect snack for after-practice” before savoring the treat. 

The Smash’d Potato Bowls is a recent addition to KFC’s bowl lineup like Famous Bowls and Mac & Cheese Bowls. After a successful test run in Pittsburgh in 2023, it was officially introduced to the nation on January 29 this year. The bowl is a mixture of mashed potatoes with fries, bacon crumbles, warm cheese sauce, and a three-cheese blend topping. KFC chief marketing officer Nick Chavez said, “If you like our Famous Bowls, you’re going to love this new bowl.” So, if you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go as the trio’s reactions suggest that it’s not a disappointment! And not to mention Deion Sanders high praise for the fast food giant. 

Sanders family bond with KFC

Last season when Coach Prime and the Buffs were getting ready to face ASU at Mountain America Stadium, Deion Sanders expressed his gratitude to KFC on Well Off Media following his partnership. He said, “KFC, once again, I wanna thank you for everything. What you do for the whole d*rn team, we love you and we appreciate you.”

After his partnership, the whole Sanders family appeared in the KFC Chicken Nuggets debut commercial as they served as brand ambassadors for the new item. Their love for KFC has grown even stronger as both Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders followed in their father’s footsteps to sign NIL deals with the company. It looks like the Sanders are going to have an everlasting connection with KFC.
