Shilo Sanders is putting in serious work to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster. He’s grinding through practices, staying sharp in drills, and making his case as a real contender.
But that’s not all. Off the field, Shilo’s got a full plate too. He’s live-streaming at night, building his brand, and even vlogging about local Tampa restaurants on the weekends. The guy barely takes a break.
And during one of his recent streams, he casually mentioned that he doesn’t get a full eight hours of sleep each night. That small comment sparked a wave of concern from fans.
With everything he’s juggling, NFL training, content creation, and life in a new city, people are starting to wonder if he’s pushing himself too hard.
Shilo Reveals His Sleep Schedule
Shilo Sanders didn’t beat around the bush when talking about his sleep habits. On his recent stream, he said straight up that the sweet spot for him is just six and a half hours of sleep every night: “I can go to sleep at 12:30 and wake up at 6:30.”
He didn’t sound too bothered by it, either, like it’s just part of his grind.
But fans aren’t so chill about it. Many took to social media to say six hours isn’t enough, especially for an athlete trying to break into the NFL. With the physical demands of training camp, recovery is key, and sleep plays a huge part in that.
Fans Urge Shilo Sanders to Prioritize Rest and Recovery
After Shilo admitted to getting only six and a half hours of sleep, fans quickly chimed in with concern. Many reminded him that rest is just as important as training, especially for someone chasing an NFL roster spot.
One supporter wrote, “Make sure you get the rest and recovery your body needs… CU auntie in Atlanta always supporting…Go Bucs.”
Another said, “Shilo you better be getting your rest. I mean you have to train man. They don’t have time for you to be messing around.” “Shilo! Get your sleep, nephew,” added another CU auntie from South Carolina.
Some were more understanding, saying, “As long as you are getting the sleep you need to function Shilo.” Even one fan joked, “If I ever sleep more than 4 hours at a time, something’s seriously wrong with me.”
And of course, someone brought up Coach Prime: “You know what yo daddy said about sleeping…”
Deion Sanders Once Warned Shilo Sanders About Over-Sleeping
Deion Sanders has always been vocal about discipline, and that includes sleep. In one clip that recently resurfaced, he gave Shilo some blunt advice: “Any man that sleeps after 7 is not a man.”
He doubled down, saying no one with goals or responsibilities should be in bed past 7 a.m. And in classic Coach Prime style, he didn’t stop there. He even advised women, “If your man sleeps past 7 a.m, leave him.”
That tough-love mindset explains why Shilo keeps such a tight schedule, even if it means sacrificing rest. The father-son bond between Deion and Shilo is full of real talk, high standards, and a shared love for the grind.
Still, fans hope Shilo finds balance while chasing his dream. Because even Coach Prime might agree that hard work matters, but so does recovery.
