“Yall Tried To Gas Him”: Antonio Brown Refuses To Back Down As Shilo Sanders Considers Retirement Post-Bucs Cut

Antonio Brown, a former NFL wide receiver, has not stopped taking shots at Deion Sanders’ son, Shilo Sanders. Last week, it was announced that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had released Shilo Sanders after the safety punched a rival player during the preseason finale. After the release, there are rumors going around that Shilo Sanders will retire from the game and venture into another project soon.

Brown has been sharing clips of himself demolishing safety Shilo Sanders at private workouts and one of them was shared by NFL insider Dov Kleiman. The former NFL wide receiver responded to the tweet with a jab of his own.

“Wow: The legendary Antonio Brown posted multiple more clips of him COOKING Shilo Sanders at a workout. The Bucs recently cut Sanders from their roster.” NFL writer Dov Kleiman posted from his X account.

“Yall tried to gas him. … I’ve always known,” Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown replied to Kleiman’s tweet.

This is, of course, not the first time that Antonio Brown has attacked Deion Sanders and his sons. Some time back, Brown shaded Coach Prime that his sons, Shilo and Shedeur, were receiving special attention from the National Football League all because of his influence. Deion Sanders responded to this gracefully and simply wished the retired wide-out well.
