Deion Sanders has been divorced twice, but his dynamics with his children never changed. “Never stop fathering; don’t let anything get in your way of fathering,” he said last year, explaining how his life revolved around his kids and the moves he made in his career were all after considering how it would affect them. Now, the next generation, mainly Shedeur and Shilo, aim to carry forward his legacy in the NFL.

While Shedeur is with the Browns, Shilo signed a contract with the Bucs, and though it might take time for either of them to break out as stars in the professional league, that remains their number one goal. But that doesn’t mean they will let life roll away; they intend to make the most of the opportunities they have received, thanks to their father, Deion Sanders. And so on Father’s Day, Shilo decided to share a ‘Prime Time’ throwback for his dad and their fans.

He took to Instagram and uploaded a video with his caption, “A few years ago when I gave @deionsanders the best Fathers Day gift ever!” What exactly was the video about? The clip was from a couple of years ago, on Father’s Day, when Shilo took two footballs to his dad and got his autograph on them. First, he hugged his dad, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and got his autograph. “Has anyone ever told you you are just a great dad? You’re a great guy. Best coach ever. Best coach dad ever. You know what? You’re getting something from Father’s Day,” he stated and proceeded to give his dad a football with his own autograph on it. “Here, a Deion Sanders signed football,” Shilo said as his pops laughed!

However, fret not! The Sanders had a big celebration on the occasion this year, and the proud father shared some lovely pictures on his Instagram account. In fact, son Deion Sanders Jr. recorded the entire day, capturing fond memories. He asked each of his siblings to share their favorite Father’s Day moment with their dad. At 33, Deiondra has spent more Father’s Days with Coach Prime than any of them, and so, she had plenty of moments to look back on. “I feel like I have a lot of good memories, father memories, but I feel like maybe, this Father’s Day was probably the best. Because three of us were with him today, Shilo and Shedeur are in camp. But that was really cool.” But there was yet another absence… an expected one.

It was Pilar. While she is cheering on for her sons, she has not acknowledged her son Shilo’s Father’s Day tribute. But comment or not, Deion Sanders certainly looked happy with his children in the video, despite facing a serious health crisis.

Deion Sanders misses Colorado offseason workouts amid health scare!

Deion Sanders is currently away from the team as he recovers from an undisclosed medical issue, according to his family and public statements. Sanders, 57, is spending time at home in Texas and has not been with the Buffaloes during June workouts. He was also absent from the Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research’s annual symposium in Florida, where he had been scheduled to speak. This marks yet another summer Sanders has dealt with a serious health issue.

In 2021, he was hospitalized with circulation problems in his left leg, which led to the amputation of two toes. In 2023, he underwent emergency surgery to address blood clots in the same leg and was warned by doctors of potential amputation or worse. Sanders chronicled both situations on social media and remained active with the team during recovery periods. And now, on June 11, Sanders addressed the current situation via social media, writing: “I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so.” No additional medical details or return timeline have been provided.

Sanders reportedly lost 14 pounds in recent weeks. A short video shared by his sons showed him appearing physically weakened but in good spirits. The family has not disclosed the cause of the weight loss or his current treatment plan. For now, Colorado’s coaching staff continues to run offseason activities in his absence. There is no indication this will affect Sanders’ status for fall camp.
