Deion Sanders' son Shiloh is breaking his silence after he was waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following an altercation on the field where he threw a punch.
Shiloh posted a video on his YouTube page titled "WAIVED By The Buccaneers ... What Now?" to address the recent situation and let his fans know what he plans to do next.
First, Shiloh says he's been in touch with his agent in order to explore other opportunities in the league and hopes he'll get another shot. Shiloh thanks his fans and supporters who have been with him since the beginning.
He says, "My time being up here with the Buccaneers has been nothing but great. The city, my teammates, my coaches everybody has always poured in love and support towards me and I’ll forever be grateful for that … Everything happens for a reason and it is what it is.”
However, Shiloh says if the NFL doesn't work out he's still got plenty of other talents he can fall back on in order to make a name for himself.
It was earlier this week when Shiloh was waived by the Buccaneers less than 24 hours after he got into it on the field with Zach Davidson of the Buffalo Bills, throwing a punch and getting ejected from the game.
Shiloh adds, "God has blessed me with a lot of talents to do other things other than play football. I feel like in every athlete’s life it becomes a point to where the game ends for you. And I’m not saying that’s what it is now, I’m just saying mentally I’m good because I know that I got a lot of talents and I’ve been blessed."
Shiloh says his other talents include acting, modeling and music—things he's profiled over the years on his YouTube page which has amassed over 200,000 subscribers.
He says the NFL is sometimes known as the "Not For Long" league, so he's always understood he may need a backup plan if things didn't work out.
Finally, Shiloh adds, "I truly believe God has a big plan for me, and I’m grateful to bring all y’all along with me."
