Shilo Sanders, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ newest safety and son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is making headlines off the field with a hilarious and unexpected moment involving a senior Bucs fan–and a light-hearted jab at his dad, famously known as Coach Prime.
While interacting with fans, Shilo found himself helping an older supporter who was struggling to flip his phone camera into selfie mode. Rather than simply assist, Shilo took the opportunity to crack a joke: “You kinda look like how Coach Prime will look in a few years.” The crowd around them burst into laughter, and the clip quickly made its rounds on social media.
The moment highlighted Shilo‘s natural charisma and his growing presence in the NFL–qualities that made him a fan favorite at Colorado and helped him land a spot on the Buccaneers roster earlier this year.
The light-hearted jab wasn’t malicious, of course, but fans loved the candid nature of the exchange and the playful father-son dynamic it revealed.
Fans love the Sanders family energy
Shilo’s new role in Tampa Bay has only magnified the attention on him, especially given his ties to one of the most iconic names in football. With Shedeur Sanders on his own NFL journey and Coach Prime continuing to generate headlines at Colorado, the Sanders family remains a central force in the sports world.
For Shilo, moments like this show he’s not just riding his father’s legacy–he’s creating his own path, both on and off the field. With humor, confidence, and a growing fan base in Tampa, Shilo Sanders is quickly proving he belongs in the NFL spotlight in more ways than one.
