Antonio Brown recently escalated public comments targeting the family of Deion Sanders, specifically focusing on Sanders' sons Shilo and Shedeur. Brown used social media platforms to air past footage.
The former wide receiver posted old workout clips that featured Colorado Buffaloes defensive back Shilo Sanders. The footage showed moments from drills where Brown appeared to outmaneuver Sanders.
Brown continued his online activity, posting multiple clips highlighting Shilo's apparent difficulty guarding him. One post included text critical of Deion Sanders regarding his sons.
Attention then shifted to Shedeur Sanders. Shedeur, once projected as a potential first-round draft choice, was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the recent NFL Draft. Brown commented publicly on Shedeur's draft position.
Pilar Sanders, mother of Shilo and Shedeur, also weighed in. She reportedly denounced Brown's actions targeting her sons. A quote attributed to her regarding a clip stated, "AB getting dominated by Shilo Sanders," offering a counter-narrative to Brown's posts.
Deion Sanders responded to Antonio Brown's posts. He opted for a diplomatic approach publicly.
Sanders stated his affection for Brown and expressed appreciation for him. He affirmed he would not speak negatively about Brown publicly or privately.
He added that he knows Brown and is praying for "the AB I know." Sanders also included a lighthearted remark referencing his own playing days, saying he "ain't need no help."
