Deion Sanders will forever be the doting father to his five kids. Now that they’re all grown up, each of them are in important milestones in their lives. After an intense wait, both Shedeur and Shilo Sanders made it to the NFL. Shelomi is busy with her basketball career at Alabama A&M. Deiondra has her hands full with Snow. But Deion Sanders Jr., his eldest boy, seems to have landed as Coach Prime’s favorite child. He bestowed a heartwarming honor on him, bypassing his other sons.
Both the Sanders brothers are turning heads at their rookie camps. Shilo is off to a great start at Tampa, impressing the staff with his clean footwork. Shedeur, too, has settled in at Cleveland. After being the center of attention at this year’s draft, the dust has just begun to settle on that chapter. Bucky, on the other hand, has been a huge, huge pillar of support for his younger brothers. He repeatedly took to social media to bat for them, sharing countless visuals of why the brothers deserved a place in the pro leagues. Now, dad Deion Sanders is giving a pat on the back.
His latest claim can lead the siblings to stage a war against their father, even if Coach Prime meant no harm. “The MVP of all my kids!” – that’s the title he’s laying out for his eldest son. The 2nd eldest Sanders stood against a replica of Shedeur Sanders’ Cleveland jersey, and Coach Prime shared the image on his Instagram story. Maybe it’s just a dad thing, because he thought congratulating Bucky was the way to go, when he just wanted to show support for Shedeur. The new Browns QB already had his father’s support for so long, so maybe he’ll let this one slide.

Unlike his brothers, Deion Sanders Jr. couldn’t make it to the NFL. So he knows what his brothers have achieved and how much it means to the whole family. He is a huge reason why Colorado football enjoys so much fame, thanks to his efforts via his company, Well Off Media. Coach Prime is letting his eldest son know that he’ll always be an integral element of the show behind the scenes. Deion Sanders Jr. is just as special as Shedeur and Shilo in the HC’s eyes.
The jersey in question also created more buzz around Shedeur Sanders, who is currently in practice mode at Cleveland.
Shedeur Sanders’ Cleveland jersey goes viral
Shedeur is still trying to build a reputation for himself in his new home. The QB room is crowded, especially with the addition of Dillon Gabriel. Being picked after the Oregon QB, critics once again rained down on Shedeur for his abilities and attitude. But his recent appearance at the NFLPA Rookie Premier is attracting quite some appreciation, giving them a taste of his new role.
Shedeur was busy doing a shoot for the video. The classic chocolate-brown jersey sported a large 12 on the front. It gave us a taste of Shedeur for the first time. Clutching the signature orange helmet in one hand and a ball in the other arm, it seemed exciting to see him in those new gifts. Funnily enough, it was Bucky who shared that glimpse with the world. And when the elder Sanders says something, people listen.

He is competing closely with Dillon Gabriel for a respectable spot in the depth chart. Gabriel and Sanders both had a great time at the rookie minicamp. Though Gabriel’s plays looked clean, Sanders was “by no means, a bust,” according to ESPN’s Tony Grossi. But big brother Deion Sanders Jr. will always turn up to support him. Coach Prime, on the other hand, is making sure all his children get his tough love.
