In late August, Shilo Sanders learned his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was over. In the months since security measures were lifted, Sanders appeared to shift his attention from football to social media content.
Shilo’s younger brother, Shedeur Sanders, is the backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted the Browns in Week 6.
Before kickoff, Sanders’ older brother fooled some fans — and apparently amused others — by impersonating Cleveland’s rookie quarterback.

In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Shilo wore a No. 12 Browns jersey as he entered Steelers stadium hours before the AFC North game.

“What’s wrong with you, man? I’m Shedeur today,” Shilo said while doing Shedeur’s signature “watch flex” pose.
When asked if Shedeur would take any snaps in the game, Shilo responded with his brother’s viral mime routine.

Sheduer was listed as the backup quarterback behind Dillon Gabriel after Joe Flacco was traded to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Gabriel has appeared in four games, and started in two, this season. The former Oregon quarterback has totaled 430 yards and three touchdowns so far.

Last Sunday’s 23-9 loss to the Steelers marked the Browns’ third straight loss.
Shilo went undrafted in this year’s NFL Draft after playing two seasons in the defensive backfield at South Carolina, Jackson State and Colorado, respectively.
He was coached by his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, during his time at Jackson State and Colorado.
