While Deion Sanders is a head coach and a good one at that, he is also a father first and foremost.
That is why he couldn’t help but be proud of his son Shilo Sanders at Colorado’s Pro Day.
Deion Sanders Speaks on Shilo Sanders
Sanders chatted about the performance of his starting cornerback at the school’s pro day, especially his 40-yard dash.
This is not just a coach hyping one of his best players; it is a father hyping up his son, which is very neat. Shilo Sanders ran a 4.52 40-yard dash, which was very impressive.
However, he could not capitalize on the challenge presented by his father and head coach. Deion was going to buy his son a car if he ran 4.4, but he wasn’t fast enough.
However, fans can’t seem to let the challenge go on social media.
Damn no new car

Shilo is an Impressive Prospect
It isn’t just the speed that is impressive about Sanders.
The 25-year-old plays like a veteran, standing at 6’0″ and weighing close to 200 pounds. A former All-SWAC performer, Sanders recorded 160 career tackles in college, six interceptions, and 13 pass deflections.
While his numbers might not be as gaudy, teams did not want to throw in his direction. Think of when Richard Sherman did not put up the craziest numbers in his prime with the Seattle Seahawks. It wasn’t because he was having a down year. It was because no quarterback wanted to throw his way because of how dangerous he was.
Sanders will likely have his fair share of suitors in this NFL Draft because of the talent at the quarterback and wide receiver positions in today’s NFL.
