While Deion Sanders keeps supporting his boys from the field, mom Pilar Sanders is just as active from the stands. Shedeur and Shilo Sanders have gone to the draft, sure. But it is not going to be easy for both of them in the pro leagues. Shedeur’s draft projections are all over the place, competing for a spot in a class ruled by Cam Ward. Shilo, on the other hand, has it much more difficult than his younger brother. Pilar is racking up the support for the elder son, as he grasps at straws.

Shilo missed out on an NFL combine invite. That was the first major blow to his pro chances. Because of that, Shilo has been working his best to improve his prospects and get more scouts to take note of him. He was determined to do just that while approaching Colorado’s Pro Day. Before the event, Deion Sanders made headlines by promising his son a brand new ride if he clocked in a 4.4. Unfortunately, Shilo ended up clocking in a 4.52. Nevertheless, Coach Prime was proud his son came that close to the mark, as he indicated on his Instagram.

But controversy soon struck this number, after CU staff members were seen timing Shilo at 4.45. That guaranteed him his reward and much more praise from the experts. However, Deion took no further note of it, letting Shilo’s official time be recorded as 4.52. And that’s why, Mom Pilar Sanders is back at attempting to prove her son’s worth to the world. Shilo, with his skills and numbers, has managed to appear in the radar of NFL Rookie Watch. The handle ranked the safety as third best prospect in the draft for that class. Pilar shared the post on social media, highlighting Shilo’s figures and other details.

She’s making sure that the controversy doesn’t take away much from the fact that Shilo is a dependable talent. The post noted Shilo’s 6 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles and 2 forced recoveries. He followed behind Billy Bowman Jr. on No. 2 and Rayuan Lane III on the top of the list. Previously, when Shilo had just run his 4.52, Pilar had also taken to social media to plead her son’s case for the car promised by his father, as a reward for his efforts. Now, she’s taking his side amidst a controversy that Deion Sanders isn’t making much noise out of.

Shelomi joins mom in support for Shilo Sanders

The Sanders family sticks with its people during testing times. Joining mother Pilar is sister Shelomi, who shared the same post on her Instagram story as well. She also thought it important to share her brother’s achievements with the world. Shelomi was also in attendance at Colorado’s pro day, marking her support for Shilo.

Shilo and Shelomi share a bond as natural as that between any brother and sister. He took some playful digs at his sister, messing with him about her ball skills. He said in a video, “You’ve never beat me and you’re weak. You’re so weak, you’re the weakest Sanders.” Just afterwards, Shelomi showed who’s the boss after winning a challenge 8-3, with some extra shots just for insurance. The basketball star now plays for Alabama A&M.

The Sanders family will be a talking point as the draft nears, with Shedeur and Shilo clinging on to their dimming hopes. However, mom Pilar and sister Shelomi will never back down from providing an extra layer of support when needed. Let’s see where the brothers are headed in the draft.
