After getting selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders is set to make his first NFL start in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The youngest son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Shedeur, grew up in a family where football is an integral part of everyday life, and several of his siblings have also been involved in the sport. He has four siblings, two brothers and two sisters. Here is a closer look at each of them.
Meet Shedeur Sanders’ Four Siblings
Deion welcomed two children, Deion Sanders Jr. and Deiondra Sanders, with his first wife, Carolyn Chambers. Shedeur comes from Deion’s second marriage to Pilar Sanders. The two-time Super Bowl champion also shares Shilo Sanders and Shelomi Sanders with Pilar.
Deiondra Sanders
Deiondra Sanders, born April 17, 1992, is Shedeur’s oldest sibling. She found her way into reality television, making her first appearance on the Oxygen network’s “Deion and Pilar: Prime Time Love.”
She later appeared on OWN’s “Deion’s Family Playbook” alongside her four siblings, including Shedeur, and was featured on “Paradise Hotel” in 2019. According to her LinkedIn profile, Deiondra has served as Director of Communications and Client Management at Sc3 Sports Management since June 2019.
She is engaged to R&B musician Jacquees, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Que.
Deion Sanders Jr.
Deion Jr., born on December 1, 1993, followed in his father’s footsteps into the world of football. He played wide receiver at Marcus High School in Dallas and later at Atlanta Sports Academy before spending three seasons playing college football at Southern Methodist University.
After moving on from the sport in 2015, he shifted his focus to fashion and launched the streetwear brand Well Off Forever in 2016. He also took on a key role behind the scenes, managing his father’s social media presence during Deion’s tenure as head coach at Jackson State.
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders, Deion’s first child with Pilar, was born on Feb. 9, 2000. He played two years of college football at South Carolina before transferring to Jackson State and later Colorado alongside his brother Shedeur.
A safety, Shilo has also declared for the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent before getting released by the team. In 2024, he recorded 45 solo tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, and two pass breakups for Colorado.
Shelomi Sanders
Born on Dec. 14, 2003, Shelomi is the youngest of the Sanders siblings. She’s carried on the family’s athletic tradition, making a name for herself in basketball.
Shelomi played two seasons at Jackson State before transferring first to Colorado and later to Alabama A&M, where she currently plays for the Bulldogs.
