“If you run a 4.4, what kind of car you want?” Deion Sanders Sr. said to Shilo in the video.
Shilo, 25, has proven himself to be a hard-hitting ballhawk in his two seasons at Colorado, when he led the team in tackles in 2023 and ranked third on the team in tackles in 2024 despite missing three games with a ...
