Shilo Sanders’ NFL dream faces doubts as fans question his worthiness
Shilo Sanders is out to prove he belongs in the NFL. But not everyone is convinced. The Colorado safety didn’t receive an invite to the NFL Combine, a major blow for any draft hopeful. Instead of giving up, he brought in Zybek Sports to time his drills, just like at the Combine. He even documented the process on YouTube, making sure scouts see what he can do.
Despite his efforts, critics remain. Some fans believe he’s simply not NFL material.
“Shilo cool. But he’s not NFL material!!!! Sorry Prime,” one fan wrote.
“He’s too much like his mama. He’s getting just what he deserve. He has her attitude. Sorry to say,” a fan said.
Others think he’ll only get a shot because of his father.
“Sanders and him are a package deal lmao, and yes he will start,” one commented.

Shilo has talent, but will it be enough to silence the doubters?
