Deion Sanders, ever since his days as a player in both the NFL and the MLB, has been one of the most charismatic personalities in the sporting world. With his combination of flair, flamboyance, and all-around swagger, he remains one of the most entertaining and endearing voices in the industry.
His role as player and now coach, though, hasn’t taken away from his role as a family man. A dad to five children, Sanders has been heavily involved in their upbringing, with his love for them shining through at every turn. However, he is also not shy of making them the butt of jokes time and again.
Deion Sanders Roasts Shilo Sanders
On Aug. 9, 2024, Deiondra Sanders, his eldest child, gave birth to Snow. After a serious complication, as she suffered from fibroids, having him was a blessing, as she described it, detailing the emotional rollercoaster she went through at the time.
Celebrating a day out with his daughter and grandson, the current head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes shared some glimpses of them at the playground, aptly named “Snow’s Playground.” However, what caught everyone’s eye was the second part of his accompanying message.
“He’s cutting into @shilosanders Trust fund. Lololololol” Shilo was, of course, part of the Buffaloes roster up until last season. After going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, his NFL future remains in jeopardy as he tries to prove his worth during training camp. Already, the former two-time Super Bowl champion has given Deion Sanders Jr. the title of MVP amongst all five of his kids.
So it might be time for the cornerback to establish his name. Earlier in the week, he shared a message directly from his dad on Instagram that had the right message but with the typical Sanders humor mixed in.
“You’re supposed to get up and start your day. Any man who sleeps after 7 a.m. is not a man. You’re a child, because you obviously ain’t got nowhere to go and no responsibility. You sleep after 7:00, then go on a date Monday through Friday, something’s wrong. Women, if your man sleeps past 7:00 a.m., leave him.”
Joining the Buccaneers, he has a clear path forward in the league as he continues on with the blessings of his father. Despite his insanely hectic schedule, Sanders has always made his family a priority.
Earlier this year, he had another heartfelt message for his daughter when she explained how happy being Snow’s mother had made her.
