- Cleveland Browns. Shedeur Sanders' shot at Cleveland Browns' starting job: Opportunity or uphill battle?
Deiondra Sanders couldn't believe the heart and loyalty her brother Shilo showed in one of the biggest moments of their lives. As Shedeur Sanders finally got the call from the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, all eyes were on the Colorado QB - but it was Shilo's reaction that stole the show.
Even though Shilo remained undrafted at that point, he put his own worries aside and broke into an epic celebration with Shedeur, dancing and laughing like nothing else mattered. The touching moment went viral almost instantly, showing the true strength of the Sanders bond.
And it didn't go unnoticed by Deiondra, who shared the clip on her Instagram Story with a powerful message: "One thing I learned through this process is Shilo is a really good big brother. Everybody needs a Shilo. He ain't worry about himself or his situation all weekend."
The Sanders are a family of faith
The Sanders family, known for their fiery energy and tight-knit loyalty, once again proved that family comes first. Deiondra, a proud big sister, influencer, and new mom, had been following her brothers' draft journey closely.
She even shared Bible verses like Matthew 20:16 to remind everyone that patience and faith matter most: "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."
Shilo, despite enduring a rough 2024 season filled with injuries and setbacks, kept his head high. Although he didn't hear his name during the draft, he didn't leave empty-handed. Just hours after the final pick, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - landing a fresh NFL opportunity in Florida.
Deion is proud of his children
Meanwhile, Deion Sanders, aka Coach Prime, isn't mad about how things turned out - quite the opposite. He's proud of the resilience and mental toughness his sons displayed through the highs and lows of draft weekend.
Shilo may have been overlooked on draft night, but in the eyes of his family - and now the whole world - he's already a champion.
