Shilo Sanders, son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders, has set his sights on Colorado’s upcoming “pro day” in seven weeks to showcase his abilities to NFL scouts. Unlike his peers who received invitations to the NFL combine, Sanders was excluded from the prestigious event.
Despite this setback, Sanders remains determined to elevate his draft prospects before the big day. With the assistance of a specialized company, he aims to fine-tune his skill set and improve his measurables, focusing particularly on his 40-yard dash time. By leveraging data from previous combines and pro days, Sanders hopes to gain a competitive edge and garner attention from NFL teams.
While he may not be a top pick in the draft, Sanders’ impressive performance on the field, including leading his team in tackles in 2023, has not gone unnoticed. His participation in the East-West Shrine Bowl further highlights his potential as a valuable asset for any NFL team.
Working closely with his advisor, Sanders is diligently preparing for the challenges ahead. By analyzing data and setting specific goals, he aims to enhance his speed and agility to meet the standards expected by NFL scouts. With a clear strategy in place, Sanders remains optimistic about his prospects in the upcoming NFL draft.
As the draft day approaches, Sanders is focused on showcasing his abilities and proving his worth to potential suitors. With dedication and perseverance, he hopes to achieve his dream of playing in the NFL and following in his father’s footsteps.
