Antonio Brown doubles down on Coach Prime's son as Shilo Sanders considers retirment after being cut by Bucs

Former NFL star Antonio Brown took a jab at Shilo Sanders on Friday. Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' son got cut from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his "inexcusable" punching incident during their preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers star responded to a video shared by Dov Kleiman showing Brown flaunting his skills during a practice session with Shilo. In the clip, the safety failed to block the Super Bowl LV champ while he sprinted down his route.

In a post on X, Brown said he always knew Shilo to be an overrated player heading into the NFL.

"Yall tried to gas him. ... I've always known," AB tweeted.

Shilo received severe backlash after throwing a punch at Bills tight end Zach Davidson during the game. He got ejected by officials, following which Bucs coach Todd Bowles called it "inexcusable behavior."

After the Bucs waived the safety, Antonio Brown shared a tweet about both Shilo and his brother, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, getting cut by their teams. However, unlike Shilo, Shedeur secured a spot on the Cleveland Browns' 53-man roster. He was named the third-string option, behind QB1 Joe Flacco and backup Dillon Gabriel.

During Tuesday's press conference, Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders took a minute to talk about his son, Shilo's future in the league after being waived by Todd Bowles' Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Coach Prime said he isn't worried because Shilo has other talents apart from football. He also mentioned how he would come forward to look after and take care of his son as he figures out his future.

"So, Shilo is a man of many talents," Deion said. "I don't know if you guys know, he's a man of many talents, and he's gonna be straight. All the Sanders are gonna be straight, with him with football. You better believe that.

"I take care of mine, and I always have. All y'all know what I mean. You better believe that."

Shilo Sanders shared a video on YouTube, hinting at the career paths he can choose apart from football. Will the safety try his luck in the NFL or move ahead with something else?
