Is Shilo Sanders' ego getting too big, or is this just good-natured fun among teammates?

Shilo Sanders is always up to something. The CEO of Headache Gang has this playful, mischievous side that keeps everyone on their toes. And he recently pulled a prank on one of his teammates.

The Colorado Buffaloes have been in fall camp since Monday, and things are heating up as the days go by. A couple of new defensive backs, Preston Hodge and DJ McKinney, were talking to reporters about how amazing the Buffs’ secondary is. Then, out of nowhere, the Buffs safety shows up, pretending to be a reporter.

Shilo Sanders playfully asks Hodge, “So how does it feel to have Shilo Sanders playing over top of you?” Looks like the veteran safety is just boasting of his seniority, and Hodge played along. He said, “It feels great I can trust that the inside route will be covered. Yessir!” stroking his ego for good.

Now, the Buffs‘ defensive backfield is looking pretty solid. Hodge is a star who came over from Liberty, and McKinney is a transfer from Oklahoma State. Hodge even helped lead his former to its best 13-1 season last year. And as Colorado’s wonder boy, he is the highest-graded defensive back for the Buffs this season. He is all set to form a strong defensive duo with Shilo. 

Shilo is already a tackling machine, racked up 67 tackles and 4 forced fumbles. Joining them is another veteran safety Cam’Ron Silmon Craig, who leads with 44 tackles. In fact, Craig too joined the press meet, adding fun as Shilo’s partner in crime. 

While Shilo is bonding with his defensive buddies, he seems to have a friendly tussle with one of his offensive teammates.

Shilo Sanders & Co. stir up silly trouble

Shilo Sanders is always cracking jokes and messing around. He loves to imitate his dad and give him a hard time. But this time, he turned his attention to his quarterback brother, Shedeur.

There’s been a series of pics going around of Shedeur and Shilo getting into a little scuffle during the fall camp practice. Their dad, Deion, seems to have a good laugh at it, as he posted it on Instagram writing, “@shilosanders vs @shedeursanders – practice was turnt today.” However, their half-brother, Deion Sanders Jr., had to step in and ensure it was all just for fun. He wrote, “Y’all know they didn’t fight for real.. it was a joke.. but who y’all talking in a real fight? Shilo or Shedeur?” Clearing the air. But the internet went wild! Everyone was taking sides, saying who would win in a real fight, the offensive star or the defensive veteran.

However, amidst this fun, reality also hits. Both Shedeur and Shilo are expected to play in the NFL next year, so we won’t be seeing much more of their brotherly banter on the football field. It’s gonna be weird without the pranksters.
