Deion Sanders Jr. Reveals the Locker Room Call That Changed Everything for Shilo
Deion Sanders Jr. finally pulled back the curtain on the emotional and unexpected phone call he received from Shilo Sanders after his ejection against the Bills. According to Bucky, Shilo did not waste a second after reaching the locker room.
“He called me as soon as he got in the locker room,” said Deion Sanders Jr.
The timing caught Bucky completely off guard. He was still watching the game on TV when his phone lit up with Shilo’s name.
Bucky admitted he never expected that call. One minute he was locked into the broadcast, the next he was listening to his brother vent about everything that had just happened.
“Hes like, ‘Bro, your dad just sent me some a ho ass message, bro. Tell tell dad I don’t want to hear that. I’m tired.’ Just two, he’s like, ‘So, what do you do every day on a daily basis?’ Like, what do you wake up and do or what do you wake up and think about it when you stop playing football?”
The conversation turned deep fast. What started as frustration quickly became a real talk about life after football. Deion Sanders Jr. says the two stayed on the phone for nearly an hour, talking all the way until the game ended.
Bucky could hear the uncertainty in Shilo’s voice. The reality of the moment was starting to sink in.
Then came the question that changed the tone of the entire call. Shilo asked Deion Sanders Jr., “He’s like, ‘You think it’s over for me?’”
Bucky did not sugarcoat his response. He responded honestly, saying, “Bro, I ain’t going to lie. It’s over with, bro.” Bucky then told Shilo that: “It’s over with for them, I’m not going to even it’s over, you know.”
Still, Deion Sanders Jr. made sure to encourage his brother:
“Keep working. You’ll probably get another trial somewhere and stuff, but it’s over with for, for the Bucks.”
Then came the final message.“Go ahead and pack your bags, bro,” added Deion Sanders Jr.
It was a raw moment, a brotherly reality check, and the closing chapter of Shilo’s NFL journey.
