Antonio Brown’s online barbs are never stopping, and in recent days, his target has been Deion Sanders and his family.
Brown took issue with Coach Prime representing his sons, Shilo and Shedeur Sanders, at the 2025 NFL Draft and has since dissed both of his sons separately as well, forcing the Hall of Famer to respond.
Deion Sanders Responds to Antonio Brown Disses
Deion has been catching some heat over the way he handled his sons during the 2025 NFL Draft. Shedeur had a first-round projection but somehow slipped to the fifth round, while Shilo was expected to be picked in the last round but signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Deion stupid a** trying to be agent, coach, commentator, preacher,” Brown wrote. “Ain’t buying that s***.”
Shedeur was picked 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns, and when he arrived early to interact with kids at John Marshall High School, Brown replied with an expletive-ladened tweet: “Where the cockiness … now this the type s*** they have u do when u go 5th round.”
The seven-time Pro Bowler didn’t stop there and went on to attack Shilo, dissing the safety for being dominated by him during a practice in 2019, when he was still at his prime and the incoming rookie was only a high schooler.
“Deion using me help his sorry a** sons,” he posted.
Deion finally responded to Brown on Friday, May 2. Instead of firing back with strong words, he took the high road.
“@AB84 Love ya man & I appreciate u my brother. I will never publicly or privately speak negatively on you man regardless of what’s said. You KNOW I know u and I’m holding on & praying for the AB I know. Even when I played corner I ain’t need no help. Lolol. Love ya 2 Life! PRIME,” he wrote.
Maybe Deion would’ve handled this differently back in his playing days, but props to him for not clapping back. The Colorado head coach also didn’t seem too bothered about how the draft played out for his sons. Instead, he praised them for making it to the league and urged them to lock in on what’s next.
“Everybody’s worried about what happened yesterday & fear the possibilities of what will happen tomorrow when we should be focused on NOW! What we do with our NOW is what matters the most. Let’s make the most of our NOW. #Dad/CoachPrime,” Sanders wrote.
Shilo will have to grind for playing time in Tampa, while Shedeur enters a crowded QB room in Cleveland. But he’s already considered one of the favorites in the battle with Dillon Gabriel, Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett.
