Deion Sanders Rejected Son's Gift After First NFL Preseason Game
Deion Sanders Rejected Son's Gift After First NFL Preseason Game originally appeared on The Spun. That's some tough love. When your dad is arguably the greatest athlete in the history of professional sports, the standard is a bit higher than just appearing in a preseason game. After making his NFL debut this weekend with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Deion Sanders' son Shilo attempted to give his dad his first jersey but the Hall of Famer reportedly said he didn't want it. "He doesn't want it," Shilo laughed. "He expects like 30 times more. He didn't want that jersey, I'm gonna give it to my mom though. ... I gotta get like three picks or something for him to want that." Fans reacted to Coach Prime turning down his third-born child on social media. "Shedeur getting the pressure from the world….Shilo gets the pressure from home…gotta ball out playin pop's position on the field…can't have a sanders blowing coverages on the highlights…I'm rooting for this kid 🤝🏽" a user said. "I called my parents this morning and told them I now realize that I was the product of gentle parenting 😂😂😂" ESPN's Jenna Laine cried. "This is COLD." "I can't explain it but bro is so likable," a fan replied. "Hope he ends up being great." "Gotta love Shilo! 🤣" Ramon Foster commented. "His middle child tendencies show up often tho 🤣." "it shouldn't be that hard to make your own father proud lmao. his dad sounds like a dick if this story is true," another person posted. "I know he's laughing but he's being deadass serious 😭" another user pointed out. "I love the Sanders boys. They're well raised. I hope Shilo does great in Tampa!" another fan exclaimed. "Shilo seems so cool & self aware but also still sure of himself. He might have a hard time makin the roster… but I still remember when Shedeur threw that pick & Shilo doubled back with a Pick 6 of his own that next possession. I believe in him." Deion clearly expects a lot from his boys and that was evident after his other son Shedeur's impressive preseason performance as well. The Browns QB went 14-of-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns in Cleveland's exhibition win. But after the game the former Colorado star said: "Did I play up to par? No, I don't feel like I did. But overall, the main goal was to win, and that's honestly what we did."

"It felt good," Sanders told the media after the game. "Thank you, God, for putting me in position to even be on the field. I feel like I left some big hits on the table. Next game will be some improvement on my angles, on my tracking because you don't really get to work on it in an NFL practice or you're gonna get kicked out of practice. Seeing a game for the first time in a long time, did some good things. It is what it is." Shilo Sanders' first NFL game as an undrafted free agent came on the birthday of his father, Deion Sanders. He said he offered his game jersey to his father, but was turned down. "He didn't want it," Shilo said, laughing. "He's a Hall of Famer. He expects 30 times more. I'm gonna give it to my mom, though. I gotta get like three picks or something (for him)." Sanders started his college career at South Carolina before joining his father and brother Shedeur at Jackson State for two seasons, graduating from the school in 2023. He was named all-SWAC as a defensive back after the 2021 season. He spent the last two seasons of his college career at Colorado. Now he's hoping to stick in the NFL. He's also looking to move up the list of his father's children. He was most recently listed as fifth out of five.

Deion Sanders' other son also made impact in his NFL debut
TAMPA, Fla. — Shilo Sanders quickly made his presence felt in first NFL preseason game. Sanders creeped up to the line of scrimmage, blitzed untouched and hit Brandon Allen, driving him to the ground just after he threw the ball away. A night after his younger brother had an impressive debut for the Cleveland Browns as the starting quarterback, Shilo Sanders got a clean shot at the QB in Tampa Bay's 29-7 win over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. 'It felt good,' Sanders said about the hit. 'Thank you, God, for putting me in position to even be on the field. I feel like I left some big hits on the table. Next game will be some improvement on my angles, on my tracking because you don't really get to work on it in an NFL practice or you're gonna get kicked out of practice. Seeing a game for the first time in a long time, did some good things. It is what it is.' Signed by the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Colorado, where he played with his brother for their Hall of Fame dad, Deion Sanders, Shilo Sanders is battling for a roster spot in a crowded defensive backfield. He started the second half at safety and registered Tampa Bay's first quarterback hit of the game on his first series, finishing with one tackle and a strong impression. Shilo called his dad after the game and showed him his game-worn, No. 28 jersey, offering it as a birthday present. Deion Sanders turned 58 on Saturday. 'He didn't want it,' Shilo said, laughing. 'He's a Hall of Famer. He expects 30 times more. I'm gonna give it to my mom, though. I gotta get like three picks or something (for him).' Shilo Sanders delivers a big hit on Brandon Allen during the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason-opening home win over the Titans on Aug. 9, 2025. @Schultz_Report / X Shedeur Sanders, who slipped to the fifth round of the draft, completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards and two TD passes and led three TD drives in a 30-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He played nearly three quarters and didn't turn the ball over. Both of Coach Prime's sons have received plenty of attention throughout training camp. But neither player is even assured a roster spot. Shedeur is competing with veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel. Pickett and Gabriel missed the preseason opener because of hamstring injuries. Shilo is battling with JJ Roberts and Rashad Wisdom behind 2023 All-Pro Antoine Winfield Jr., starter Tykee Smith and backups Christian Izien and Kaevon Merriweather. Shilo Sanders looks on before a play in the Buccaneers' preseason home win over the Titans. Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images 'He played tough,' Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. 'I thought he went in and did a heck of a job. He had some good tackles inside. He had a pressure on the quarterback as well. He did some good coverage things, so he did a good job when he was in there.' ___
