Shilo Sanders, the older brother of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, recently engaged in some lighthearted fun before a game between the Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In late August, Shilo Sanders found himself without a team after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, he has been focusing more on creating content for social media.
Before the Week 6 game where the Steelers hosted the Browns, Shilo playfully impersonated his younger brother, Shedeur, who is a rookie backup quarterback for Cleveland. The moment was captured on video and shared on Shilo’s YouTube channel.
Wearing a Browns jersey with the number 12, the same number Shedeur wears, Shilo walked into the Steelers’ stadium. In the video, he greeted fans by saying, “What’s going on with y’all, man? I’m Shedeur today,” and even imitated Shedeur’s signature “watch flex” pose.
When someone asked if Shedeur would be playing in the game, Shilo responded with a mime routine, mimicking his brother’s recent viral response to questions about his role as a third-string quarterback.
Shedeur Sanders is currently listed as the backup quarterback for the Browns, playing behind Dillon Gabriel. This arrangement came about after Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Dillon Gabriel has played in four games this season, starting in two of them. He has passed for 430 yards and thrown three touchdowns.
The Browns faced the Steelers this past Sunday and lost 23-9, marking their third straight loss.
Shilo Sanders entered the NFL as an undrafted player. He spent time playing defensive back for the South Carolina Gamecocks, Jackson State Tigers, and Colorado Buffaloes.
During his time at Jackson State and Colorado, Shilo was coached by his father, Deion Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer. This family connection has kept the Sanders name prominent in football circles.
This playful impersonation highlights the close relationship between the Sanders brothers and adds a touch of humor to the competitive world of professional football. It also demonstrates Shilo’s shift towards content creation and engaging with fans through social media.
