DEION Sanders’ son went viral on social media – and for the wrong reasons.
Colorado Buffaloes safety Shilo Sanders, the son of the team’s head coach, Deion, was part of a jaw-dropping play during the team’s college football game against the Kansas State Wildcats last weekend.

Shilo had missed the previous three games with a forearm injury and returned to play versus Kansas State.
However, his rust was shown throughout the game as he missed several tackles on Saturday night evening.
One of the missed tackles took social media by storm as Kansas State running back DJ Giddens juked Sanders in the open field.
Sanders even fell to his knees after the missed tackle.

Colorado went on to lose 31-28 to the Wildcats.
But fans were more interested with Sanderes’ brutal play.
“That juke was absolutely filthy,” one commented.
“DJ Giddens really put on a show, making Shilo Sanders hit the ground hard,” a second wrote.
“The ankles are broken,” a third added.
“Pops is going to be mad!” a fourth said.
Deion was not happy with Shilo’s play during the Colorado loss.
“I thought he played horrible,” he told reporters following the game.
“I thought he was rusty, he didn’t have his footing.
“I thought he wasn’t breaking down, he was coming up trying to make the play but open field, one-on-one tackling with that kind of back, that ain’t an easy task.

“But he’s going to do better, I know what he has in him.”
Shilo finished with seven tackles.
He wasn’t the only player to disappoint on the Buffaloes’ defense as the unit struggled in general, allowing the Jayhawks to record 426 yards of total offense.
The subpar showing from Colorado’s defense spoiled a strong performance from star quarterback Shadeur Sanders, who threw for 388 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.
The 4-2 Buffaloes will look to bounce back next weekend when they go on the road to face the Arizona Wildcats.
