"It runs in the family": When Coach Prime & ex-wife Pilar Sanders' daughter Shelomi dropped cheeky response to being an athlete

Shelomi Sanders, the youngest daughter of Deion and his ex-wife Pilar Sanders, has always held her family in high regard. The young basketball star also believes that her family's athletic genes have been passed on to her, which helps her excel in sports.

During an appearance on "Inside DFW" with Jenny Anchondo on CW33 (KDAF) in June 2022, Shelomi accompanied her mother Pilar and dropped a cheeky comment about her family's love for sport and fitness.

When Anchondo asked her whether she had always been into athletics, Shelomi responded:

"Yes, my whole life. It runs in the family." (Timestamp: 3:11)

Shelomi's father Deion is one of the greatest athletes in U.S. sports history. The former cornerback played in the NFL and won two Super Bowls and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011. He also played in the MLB and helped the Atlanta Braves reach the World Series in 1992.

Shelomi's brothers, Shilo and Shedeur, also have been following their father's footsteps. The two currently play college football for the Colorado Buffaloes, where Deion is the coach.

Pilar is also a fitness enthusiast and is a health/wealth creator artist, as per her Instagram bio. She has a YouTube channel where she regularly uploads fitness videos, while also posting about her life.

Shelomi, on the other hand, plays basketball. She began her college career at Jackson State in 2022 and then transferred to Colorado for one season in 2023.

This offseason, Shelomi transferred to Alabama A&M, where she is currently a junior.
