Shilo Sandеrs has bеcomе a standout D-line figurе in collеgе football, drawing attention not only for his linеagе as Coach Primе‘s son but also for his identity as thе CEO of thе Hеadachе Gang. As a star safеty for thе Colorado Buffaloеs, Shilo is not only bolstеring his tеam’s dеfеnsе with his strength but also stratеgically honing his draft portfolio ahеad of thе 2025 NFL draft. Howеvеr, amid his football stardom, did you know that Shilo oncе shonе brightly as a tееnagе boxing champion?

Fans were amazed when an old video of Shilo, reuploaded by a fan page @JakiTruth revealed his exceptional boxing skills from childhood. In that video, it was evident that Shilo was not just good but exceptional in the sport. However, what stole the show was Deion Sanders’ active support of his boxing endeavors.

As a father, he was visibly proud and excited when Shilo defeated his opponent during a childhood match. Expressing his delight, Deion exclaimed, “My baby did so well. I might be sitting on a young [Floyd] Mayweather.” The comparison to boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. speaks volumes about baby Shilo’s impressive moves in the ring.

When asked about his experience as a father of a boxing enthusiast, Deion shared intriguing insights. “It’s sort of like being a father at a faster pace because you’re like, ‘Okay, right there. Okay, done. Don’t do this. Do that, do that.’ Fascinating,” said Deion Sanders.

The multifaceted nature of boxing, where challenges arise but are met with wins and followed by pride and joy, especially when witnessing his son’s talent flourish, is something Sanders found unique about the sport. “Shilo’s good,” proudly declared Deion Sanders.

Now, at 24, leaving boxing behind, Shilo is the secondary leader in the CU Buffs team, who recently made headlines after an impressive play during last week’s Black and Gold Day. However, recent rumors have it that he may not play because of a major shoulder surgery.

Will Shilo bе out this sеason?

The rumors started spreading swiftly about Shilo Sanders’ injury when Dr. Jesse Morse, a sports medicine physician, shed light on Shilo’s condition by discussing the potential ramifications. Dr. Morse presented visuals of the shoulder joint and potential points of damage, painting a picture of uncertainty around Sanders’ future in collegiate football, and predicting that he may be out for the next six months.

However, in an attempt to provide clarity to Buffaloes fans, Dr. Morse outlined various scenarios, such as an AC shoulder sprain (Type III+), a shoulder dislocation with a torn labrum, or a shoulder dislocation with a torn labrum and fracture (Bony Bankart), highlighting a “couple of different possibilities” that might be applicable in Sanders’ case.
