Deion Sanders' son, Shilo Sanders makes bold NFL draft claim as Colorado prepares for 2024 spring game: "Gotta go first round"

Deion Sanders' son, Shilo Sanders, has his eyes set on being a top pick in the NFL draft next year.

Sanders transferred from Jackson State to the Colorado Buffaloes with his father and quarterback brother, Shedeur Sanders, last season.

In a Buffs training video on Well Off Media's YouTube channel, Shilo spoke about how he was putting in the work to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

[00:02:20] "You know I've been working hard for two weeks," he said. "We got to go first round, you know. I got to run this low for."

Shilo Sanders began his collegiate journey with South Carolina back in 2019. He spent two seasons with the Gamecocks before transferring to Jackson State ahead of the 2021 season. During his two-season stint with Jackson State, the safety recorded 17 total tackles, one forced fumble and five interceptions.

Shilo's 2022 season was cut short after he suffered an ACL injury and played in just seven games. He entered the transfer portal again and joined the Colorado Buffaloes last season.

Shilo performed well in his debut campaign for the Buffs, compiling 67 tackles, four forced fumbles and one interception. He decided not to declare for the 2024 NFL draft and will be returning for another season.
