On Sunday, Shilo Sanders pranked fans while dressing like his brother, Shedeur, and strolling outside of Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Shilo wore Shedeur’s Browns jersey, along with a large chain, and played along with fans who believed they were meeting Cleveland’s QB2.

Deion Sanders Jr. shared the hilarious interaction online. In the video, Browns and Steelers fans alike wish Shilo the best, encouraging him to keep his head up while sitting behind Dillon Gabriel. Of course, they believe they’re talking to Shedeur.

Even when he’s not on the field, Shilo Sanders finds ways to entertain. In September, Colorado head coach and Shilo’s father, Deion Sanders, discussed his son’s infectious personality.

“Shilo is an entertainer,” Sanders said. “If I close my eyes and pick a kid that’s going to make it out of my five, Shilo will make it. That’s who he is. He also had a workout with the 49ers this past week. I said, ‘Son, just a random question. When was the last time you run?’ He said, ‘I’ve been working out.’ ‘I know you like a book, son.’

“But Shilo is hilarious, man. He’s an entertainer. He was in California last week, meeting with a bunch of agents because he has the opportunity to do movies and sitcoms and YouTube content.”

If Shilo’s impersonation of Shedeur is a taste of what’s to come, he’ll be providing plenty of laughs for fans. Shilo went unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.

During a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, Shilo was ejected for punching Bills tight end Zach Davidson. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles called Shilo’s actions “inexcusable” and he was waived by the team before the regular season began.

Evidently, Shilo is keeping his spirits up despite being unable to find a home in the NFL. Shedeur Sanders is similarly remaining optimistic, while backing up Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Last week, Shedeur revealed he’s happy with his current role on the team.

“I’m in a great mental space overall,” Sanders said. “So, I would say you tend to get a little bit more excited when you see a light at the end of the tunnel, for sure. … Whatever my role is here, I’m thankful. I’m happy just to do that.”

With the NFL’s unpredictable nature, Shedeur’s role could change at any given time. Fans will be on the lookout for Shilo’s antics this coming Sunday when the Browns square off against the Miami Dolphins in Cleveland.
