A year ago at this time, Shilo Sanders was preparing for the NFL Draft.

Deion's son not named Shedeur was hoping to be a late-round pick after playing safety at Colorado. He eventually settled for an undrafted free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Shilo stuck around until the end of the preseason, when he threw a punch and was ejected before being cut. He didn't latch on with a team the rest of the season.

And now, he pretty much just goes viral for odd content on social media.

The latest was this video of him telling a woman at the beach that she looks like his stepmother:

There's definitely a case to be made that the Sanders brothers document way too much of their life on camera.

At least Shedeur has stuck around the NFL for now, and he'll potentially compete for the Browns' starting QB job for 2026.

Shilo seems not particularly likely to return to the league at this point. He probably would've had an offseason contract to be in some team's facility getting better if his goal was to keep playing football.

Instead, he's focused on going viral. He probably wasn't going to do that on an NFL field anyway.
