Shilo Sanders is looking to entertain himself on NFL Sundays. After getting cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in August, Sanders is still trying to catch on with a team.
Until then, though, he’s going to work on increasing his YouTube channel numbers. Sanders may have found the perfect recipe for getting his views up in Week 6. In an attempt to fool Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers fans, Sanders dressed up as his brother, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and tried to prank fans before the game.

Shilo’s attempt was … mixed. A decent amount of fans realized there was no way Shedeur would be dressed up in his own jersey walking around the stadium hours before a game. Some even knew — despite the “disguise” — it was Shilo.
Still, Shilo did manage to fool some fans.
The video also featured Shilo and Shedeur talking after the game. Shedeur admitted he thought he was going to get some playing time at the end of the Browns’ 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Week 6.
For the first time in his career, Shedeur was active for an NFL game in Week 6. Following the Browns’ trade of Joe Flacco, Shedeur was elevated to the No. 2 quarterback spot on the depth chart. Flacco was expendable after the Browns decided to start third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel. Though two starts, Gabriel has completed 57.3 percent of his passes, with three touchdowns against no interceptions.

Shedeur’s time as a starter could come before the season is over. Following Sunday’s loss, the Browns sit at 1-5 on the season. Gabriel hasn’t lit up the stat sheet in his two games, though does deserve more time to prove himself. If he fails to show improvement and the Browns keep losing games, the team could turn to Shedeur to see if he can be a part of the team’s future.
If that happens, Shilo will almost certainly be in attendance to support his brother. No matter how that game goes, Shilo’s video should make for some engaging content.
