Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown had a few things to say about the Sanders family after the Bucs waived Shilo.
Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders haven’t had the smoothest road to the NFL. After playing in college for the Colorado Buffaloes, coached by their father Deion Sanders, the brothers entered the league.
The Sanders family was sure Sheduer was going to be drafted in the first round, but he ended up being selected in the fifth round (144th overall) by the Cleveland Browns. And Shilo went undrafted but was later signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After vying for the starting job as the Browns quarterback, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced in mid-August that Shadeur would not be taking snaps under center during the regular season and named 40-year-old veteran Joe Flacco the team’s starter.
As for Shilo, the young defensive back was just hoping for a roster spot. But a rocky preseason concluded with the Bucs waiving him after he was ejected from a preseason game for throwing punches at Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson.
Following the news of Shilo’s release, former NFL star Antonio Brown decided to throw salt in the wounds and mock the rest of the Sanders family.
Brown took to X.com on Aug. 24, predicting that Shadeur would eventually be cut too, writing: “Whole Sanders fam gonna end up getting cut out the league.”
The ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wideout wasn’t done yet and a few minutes later posted about the NFL not being about to “humble their dad.” Brown concluded his string of harsh tweets with another shot, saying: “At least his pops will retire his Colorado jersey soon.”
Neither of the brothers nor Deion have responded to Brown’s posts yet, but stay tuned.
