There’s no silence when it comes to Deion Sanders Jr. defending his own. The man behind WELLOFF media house—the silent film chronicler of Colorado Buffs football’s rebirth—might not talk much in his videos while capturing Deion Sanders and sons’ heroics, but when his brother is under fire, the silence turns to smoke. And right now, Deion Jr. is stepping in once again, this time to defend Shilo Sanders from critics who claim his draft stock’s “tanking”. It started with game footage, but quickly spiraled into a politically charged storm that only the Sanders family could ignite.
As the East-West Shrine Bowl wrapped up, social media was flooded with clips of Shilo Sanders struggling in one-on-one coverage during practice sessions. On3’s Matt Connolly was among the voices pushing the narrative that the former Buffs safety was “getting exposed,” using cherry-picked plays to craft a story of decline. And as the takes piled on, Shilo was asked about it directly. He then compared himself to the new-elect POTUS Donald Trump.

“If you just hate me, or you want to hate me… paint me in a bad picture, they do that to our President, they do that to everybody, you know. So I’m not going to be safe from it.” He doubled down, frustrated that social media critics were ripping apart his effort without acknowledging the work he put in. To that Sanders Jr. said, “Yall are sick in the head” calling out Matt Connolly’s narrative who wrote the On3 article. Protecting his half-brother.
