Deion Sanders predicted his son, Shilo Sanders , would go into acting as a new career. Whether that coincides with football remains to be seen.
Shilo Sanders, who played college football, mostly under his father, was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the summer during roster cuts. He went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Deion Sanders even recalled a time when he was almost pulled into acting. In fact, Shilo Sanders’ father nearly gave up football or baseball, but wouldn’t reveal which one.
“Once upon a time, I was gonna surrender one of the sports, I’m not gonna say which one, but to go into acting,” Sanders said on the Colorado Football Coaches Show.“And it’s almost like God pulled a carpet out of it, because the movie was gonna be shot in New Orleans. I was gonna be like this undercover cop infiltrating his corrupt police … I think that’s the avenue that, or streaming … that Shilo is gonna go down. Because he has that gift, ma … You know, it’s a very attractive personality. He’s just fun. He’s just a fun kid, man. And I’m proud of him right now. He’s had a couple interviews, couple opportunities.”
Shilo Sanders was ejected during a preseason game for the Bucs this summer, which head coach Todd Bowles called “inexcusable.” He has not been picked up since.
