Antonio Brown couldn’t resist taking another swipe at the Sanders family after news broke that safety Shilo Sanders had been cut. The former NFL star wideout jumped on social media with a string of posts aimed squarely at Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and his sons, questioning whether their hype can survive the professional grind.
“At least his pops will retire his Colorado jersey soon…” Brown wrote on X, a sharp jab at Shilo’s short-lived roster spot. He followed with another shot blaming the NFL’s inability to “humble” Deion during his Hall of Fame career. “Not even [their] fault @nfl couldn’t humble [their] dad so they will repay,” Brown added.

Not sure where he was going with the "repay" comment, but Brown escalated the situation even further. “Whole Sanders fam gonna end up getting cut out the league,” he posted, sparking many reactions across football social media.
There has been no response from Coach Prime as of yet. Meanwhile, the Buffaloes have their hands full with a Friday night showdown against Georgia Tech in just three days.
Shilo Sanders, who transferred to Colorado from Jackson State to play under his father, had grown into one of the more vocal leaders of the Buffaloes’ defense during his time in Boulder. His release by Tampa Bay now forces him to find another path if he wants to stay in the NFL.
Brown, never one to miss a headline, has built a reputation for stirring controversy online. His latest comments seem to fit neatly into the ongoing conversations about nepotism and whether Deion’s sons can succeed on their own.
For now, Brown’s barbs simply add more noise around the Sanders brand, a family already living under some of the brightest lights in football.
