Shilo Sanders did not make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster coming out of training camp. The NFL dream is not completely dead, though. Sanders recently worked out on the West Coast for the San Francisco 49ers with the hopes of finding a role.
To this point, no movement on a potential move for Sanders. However, he might have spent time in California to discuss a little more than football. His father, Deion Sanders , provided an update on the current status of the former Colorado defensive back.
“Shilo is an entertainer,” Sanders said. “If I close my eyes and pick a kid that’s going to make it out of my five, Shilo will make it. That’s who he is. He also had a workout with the 49ers this past week. I said, ‘Son, just a random question. When was the last time you run?’ He said, ‘I’ve been working out.’ ‘I know you like a book, son.’ But Shilo is hilarious, man. He’s an entertainer. He was in California last week, meeting with a bunch of agents because he has the opportunity to do movies and sitcoms and YouTube content.”
Deion clearly has confidence in his son’s future, no matter which avenue is taken. Football still appears to be a goal, signaled by working out for the 49ers. However, there is a decent backup plan available if nothing comes to fruition.
This is actually not the first time Deion discussed Sanders potentially getting into acting. Just a week ago, there was a prediction about Sanders eventually getting into the industry — something Coach Prime almost did himself.
