Coach Deion Sanders has made the Colorado Buffaloes a family business, as he has multiple children in the program.
Most people are aware of quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who has been one of the focal points of the offense and could become one of the top players in the Pac-12. However, he is not Deion's only son with the Buffaloes this season.
After quitting Jackson state he seems to have bought the entire Sanders clan to Boulder.
How many sons does Deion Sanders have at Colorado?
Deion Sanders has three sons in Colorado. Apart from Shedeur, Shilo Sanders is a safety for the program and finished with 10 tackles (nine solo, one assisted) in the opening game of the season against the TCU Horned Frogs.
Deion Sanders Jr. is part of the university as well, but works on the social media side of things, having already graduated.
Deion Sanders had a legendary football career that ended with him being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. While it will be difficult for his sons to follow in his footsteps, there is a chance that at least one of them will make the professional league.
Shedeur Sanders has shown enough promise to develop into an NFL quarterback with an outstanding arm and a very good pocket presence. He will be eligible for the 2024 NFL draft and that means this could be his only season in Colorado.
However, it would not be too surprising to see Sanders return next season, as the upcoming draft is full of quarterbacks, including Caleb Williams, Quinn Ewers, and Drake Maye.
Shilo Sanders, meanwhile, has the ability to be a rotational player in the secondary at the collegiate level, but it remains to be seen whether that can translate into the NFL. He is six feet tall and weighs 195 pounds, which is a little undersized for an NFL safety. However, Sanders could make it as a bench player or part of the practice squad.
