Throughout the draft, Shedeur Sanders was the story, but his older brother also had the chance to hear his name called.
Shilo Sanders, Deion Sanders' oldest son, entered the draft this year following six seasons in college football across three different teams. The safety wasn't as strong of a prospect as his younger brother, making it likely that he wouldn't go until day three.
However, that doesn't mean that Sanders was a lock to get drafted, as his profile isn't usually that enticing to NFL teams. Ultimate, the older Sanders also went through his own lengthy wait on Saturday, hoping he would join his brother in the league.
Here's the update on Shilo Sanders' fate during NFL Draft weekend.
