Deion Sanders previously said of his sons, “Junior is more of the business side, intellect. Shedeur is more of me, Deion. He’s more, he gonna rock steady. He ain’t gonna flinch. It’s gonna be what it is. And he gonna make wise moves and all that. Shilo is more Prime. He more of that ‘aight.’ ‘Aight now.’ Yeah. Let’s go. Let’s get down with it. That’s how all three of them ride.” As the Sanders brothers continue to grow and make their mark, it will be interesting to see how their relationships evolve.
