Shilo Sanders keeps getting on Coach Prime’s last nerve! In the lead-up to the Spring Game, the standout safety of the Colorado Buffaloes is facing challenges in his practice routine, raising concerns for his father, head coach Deion Sanders. A recent video by Well Off Media captured multiple instances of Shilo struggling with gameplay, resulting in fumbles and errors.
Apparently, the Buffaloes’ defense is not meeting Coach Prime’s expectations in the practice session. As the slacking continued and Shilo’s performance faltered, Coach Prime’s dissatisfaction was obvious. He questioned aloud, “How did we get to this point of no trust, Shilo? You think I just woke up like this?” But as time went by, Shilo kept making those “stupid” mistakes.
One particular moment highlighted Shilo’s failure to attempt a “fat catch,” prompting frustration from Coach Prime. “He’s gonna do something stupid like that… if he hits you, it is a penalty! How are you gonna protect yourself? I don’t trust you!” expressed Deion Sanders, visibly disappointed by Shilo’s play.

However, Shilo is not ready to surrender. “I’ve got the best hands back here, Coach. I can say that out very loud,” said the Colorado safety with pride. But his practice shows it all and he clearly needs to spend more time in training. Coach Prime emphasized the need for improvement and delivered a reality check to his son.“You’re off the chain. You’re off the chain, dog, can’t just start it over,” conveyed Coach Prime.

Deion Sanders has been strict with his son, Shilo Sanders, during Buffs practice sessions, showing little to no tolerance for mistakes. Despite being the coach’s son, Shilo receives no special treatment from Coach Prime, who demands only excellence from him. In fact, Shilo’s errors have resulted in his father telling him to “Get Out” of the field.
However, Shilo has showcased moments of brilliance on the practice field this offseason. The CEO of Headache Gang smoothly tackled a 175lb WR, Asaad Wasse, and effortlessly handled a 320lb lineman, Tyler Johnson. Determined to make a strong comeback after being ejected last season, Shilo has set his sights on the 2025 NFL draft.
