The Prime Time Legacy: Where Are Deion Sanders' Sons Now In The 2025 NFL Season?
Deion Sanders, known universally as "Coach Prime," has successfully transitioned his legendary NFL and MLB career into a coaching dynasty, but the true focal point of his modern legacy is his sons. As of late December 2025, the Sanders family has reached a monumental new chapter: two sons are officially navigating their rookie seasons in the National Football League, while the eldest is strategically building a powerful media empire that documents the entire journey. This article dives deep into the current status, career paths, and individual ventures of Shedeur, Shilo, and Deion Jr., providing the most up-to-date look at the next generation of the Prime Time family.

Shedeur and Shilo: Navigating the 2025 NFL Rookie Season
The 2025 NFL season marks a pivotal moment for the Sanders family, as both Shedeur and Shilo have made the leap from college football to the professional ranks. Their transition is one of the most closely watched storylines in the league, largely due to their father, Coach Prime, and their unprecedented NIL success in college.
Shedeur Sanders: The Browns' New QB Prospect
Shedeur Sanders, who wore the number 12 for the Cleveland Browns after being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, entered the league with immense pressure and high expectations. His father, Deion Sanders, publicly doubled down on his prediction that Shedeur would not only make the team but would likely be the starting quarterback for the Browns during his rookie campaign. While the Browns’ quarterback room is competitive, Shedeur’s poise, accuracy, and proven ability to handle pressure—honed under the intense spotlight at Colorado—give him a strong edge.
Shedeur's legacy at Colorado was defined by his record-breaking passing yardage and his status as one of the most marketable athletes in college sports history, securing lucrative NIL deals with brands like Gatorade and Mercedes-Benz. His move to the NFL instantly made the Cleveland Browns a team of national interest, with fans and media tracking every snap of his rookie year.
Shilo Sanders: Stepping Up with the Buccaneers
The hard-hitting safety, Shilo Sanders, was also drafted in 2025, landing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shilo’s journey was marked by his fierce loyalty, following his father from Jackson State to Colorado, where he became a defensive leader. His physical style of play and knack for making game-changing turnovers made him an attractive prospect for the Buccaneers' defense.
Interestingly, Shilo had previously expressed a desire to play alongside his brother, Shedeur, possibly with the Cleveland Browns. However, landing with a strong defensive team like the Buccaneers allows him to focus on his development as a professional defensive back, keeping the Sanders name relevant on both sides of the ball in the NFL. Coach Prime expressed his gratitude to the Buccaneers organization after they signed his son, emphasizing the emotional nature of watching both sons realize their professional dreams.
Deion Sanders Jr. (Bucky): The Entrepreneurial Prime
While his younger brothers dominate the gridiron, the eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., affectionately known as Bucky, is dominating the digital landscape. Bucky’s career path diverged from professional football after a stint as a wide receiver and cornerback at Southern Methodist University (SMU). He has instead become a media mogul, leveraging his unique access to the Sanders family's life to build a powerful and highly profitable business.
The Well Off Media Empire
Bucky is the CEO and driving force behind "Well Off Media," a digital production company that has become the unofficial, and often most authentic, source of news about the Sanders family and the Colorado Buffaloes football program. His content, primarily distributed through YouTube and various social media platforms, provides a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the life of Coach Prime and his sons, offering a level of access unprecedented in major college sports.
The success of Well Off Media has not only made Bucky an innovator in sports media but has also secured him major business deals. His strategic coverage of the Buffaloes' transformation and his brothers' careers—including their NIL success and the 2025 NFL Draft journey—has positioned him as a key player in the sports content market. Reports indicate that the unprecedented growth and reach of Well Off Media even led to a major partnership with Nike, a testament to Bucky’s entrepreneurial acumen and ability to capitalize on the family's "Prime Time" brand.
The Business of Family
Bucky’s work is more than just content creation; it’s a masterclass in modern personal branding and monetization. By controlling the narrative, he has provided a protective and promotional shield for his father and brothers, turning their family story into a lucrative, multi-platform venture. His commitment to showcasing the pressure and patience required to succeed in the Sanders household resonates deeply with fans, making Well Off Media a crucial entity for anyone following the careers of Shedeur and Shilo in the NFL.
The Future: A Post-Colorado Legacy
With both Shedeur and Shilo now in the NFL, the focus shifts from the collegiate drama of the Colorado Buffaloes to the professional careers of the two young stars. Coach Prime's immediate future was often tied to his sons, with speculation that he might consider an NFL coaching role solely to coach them. However, with the 2025 season underway, the Sanders' family legacy is officially split across three major fronts: the NFL with Shedeur and Shilo, and the media landscape with Bucky. The success of these three brothers ensures that the "Prime Time" legacy is not just about Deion Sanders, but about the enduring, multi-faceted impact of his entire family on American sports and culture.
