Deion Sanders’ middle son, Shilo, was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine amid rumors that he won’t be drafted by an NFL team.

The NFL Combine is an invitation-only showcase where college football’s top players perform physical and mental tests in front of coaches and scouts.

Four players at Colorado were invited to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, but Shilo was not among them.

The list includes Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, Shilo’s brother, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and two receivers, Jimmy Horn Jr. and LaJohntay Wester.

Shilo, 25, was a defensive back for Colorado, where his father, Deion, is head coach. Deion (center) is pictured with Shilo (left) and Shedeur (right).

Last month, Shilo compared himself to President Donald Trump when X users posted clips of him getting dusted by a receiver at the 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl.

“For those wondering why Shilo Sanders didn’t get an invite to the NFL Combine… He was burnt chicken all [Shrine Bowl] Week,” a fan wrote in a video caption.

“If you just hate me, or you want to hate me… paint me in a bad picture, they do that to our president, they do it to everybody,” Shilo said.

“So I’m not going to be safe from it. But it does get aggravating whenever you’re putting in work and you’re working on your craft and people are just steadily destroying you.”
