Shilo Sanders channeled his inner “Prime Time” last week during a hilarious promotional gig for KFC in Tampa.

The newly signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety surprised fans by working the drive-thru window, all while impersonating his father, Deion Sanders. With all the charisma and his dad’s signature catchphrases, Shilo entertained customers and handed out 250 free meals as part of the KFC promotion ahead of his first NFL training camp. A true 'Welcome to the NFL' moment.

The classic Shilo routine was playful and confident. In a video posted to his YouTube on Saturday, he didn’t just pay homage to his dad’s iconic personality, he also poked fun at his brother Shedeur Sanders' dramatic NFL Draft fall.

“I got another son named Shedeur, he was supposed to go first round but I don’t know what happened,” Shilo told a customer.

Now that Deion Sanders is feeling better after an unknown health issue, the rest Sanders household seems to be filled with more laughter than worry. Coach Prime has invited many house guests to his Texas estate, including Travis Hunter, Michael Irvin, Adam "Pacman" Jones, and others. He also made an appearance at Big 12 Media Days.

Though Shilo went undrafted, he made the Buccaneers’ training camp roster after a productive season at Colorado, where he tallied 67 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, and a defensive touchdown against Texas Tech.

Meanwhile, Shedeur joins the Cleveland Browns after slipping to the fifth round.Despite the draft-day drama, it’s clear that the Sanders family is embracing the journey. For Coach Prime, this means an array of bittersweet emotions. On one hand, he's excited to see the next generation of Sanders in the NFL. However, this will be the first time he'll step away from coaching his sons.
