Shilo Sanders disguises himself as his brother Shedeur to pull a prank on Browns and Steelers fans during game day

Shilo Sanders Pulls Off Hilarious Prank by Dressing Up as Brother Shedeur to Troll Browns and Steelers Fans on Game Day

Shilo Sanders has always had a flair for the spotlight — and now that his football future is in limbo, he’s finding new ways to keep his name in the game. After being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in August, the former Colorado safety and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders has been working to build his personal brand off the field. While he’s still hoping for another shot in the league, Shilo has turned his attention to creating entertaining content for his growing YouTube channel — and his latest prank during Week 6 of the NFL season has fans talking.

In a bold and hilarious move, Shilo decided to disguise himself as his younger brother, Shedeur Sanders — the Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback — to see how many people he could fool outside the stadium before the Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wearing a Browns jersey, hat, and shades, Shilo hit the tailgates and concourses pretending to be his famous brother. His goal? To prank unsuspecting fans and see how far the “Shedeur look-alike” act would go.

The results were pure comedy. While many fans quickly caught on — realizing there’s no chance the real Shedeur would be wandering around in full uniform before kickoff — a surprising number of people took the bait. Some even asked for selfies, autographs, and shouted encouragement, convinced they’d just met the Browns’ new quarterback. The video, which Shilo later uploaded to YouTube, perfectly captures the playful sibling rivalry and easygoing humor that has made the Sanders family a favorite among football fans.

After the game, the two brothers shared a laugh about the prank in a short postgame segment. Shedeur, who suited up as Cleveland’s backup quarterback for the first time in his NFL career, admitted that he thought he might see some playing time late in the Browns’ 23–9 loss to the Steelers. Following the team’s decision to trade veteran Joe Flacco, Shedeur was promoted to the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind rookie starter Dillon Gabriel. Through two starts, Gabriel has completed 57.3% of his passes with three touchdowns and no interceptions — solid, but not yet spectacular.

With the Browns now sitting at 1–5, fans are beginning to wonder if Shedeur’s moment could be coming sooner than expected. If Gabriel struggles to spark the offense in the coming weeks, head coach Kevin Stefanski might turn to the rookie to see what he can bring to the field. And when that day arrives, there’s little doubt Shilo will be in the stands — cheering loudly, camera rolling, and ready to capture every moment for his YouTube audience.

For now, though, Shilo’s prank has proven to be a viral hit — blending football, family, and humor into the kind of content that keeps fans engaged even between games. Whether or not his NFL journey continues, Shilo Sanders has made one thing clear: he’s going to make the most of every Sunday, on or off the field.
