Deion Sanders Jr. travels everywhere for his brother. Chicago in December? That’s different. The eldest Sanders son arrived at Soldier Field on Saturday ready to film content for Well Off Media and watch Shedeur Sanders make his fourth NFL start against the Bears. Temperatures were supposed to hit 11 degrees with wind that could knock you sideways. Coach Prime watched his son’s confidence crumble in real time and decided to share the whole thing on Instagram.
Two photos told the story. First slide: Sanders Jr. looking ready to handle business, all smiles with his camera gear. The second slide came 10 minutes after he stepped outside. Deion Sanders wrote that his son called him to confirm whether God actually wanted him to stand in that kind of cold.
The caption ended with a question for followers about what Sanders Jr. should do. The “Lololol” made it clear that Coach Prime found the whole situation hilarious.
Sanders Jr. had already posted a video from the field showing conditions that looked miserable. The wind tore through the stadium as players tried to warm up. His voice barely carried over the gusts when he said Breathing felt difficult.
Shedeur just threw for 364 yards and four touchdowns against Tennessee in the snow last week. Now he faced something worse with wind chills dropping toward minus-15 and officials warning fans about frostbite. Cleveland sits at 3-10 with no playoff hopes, but these final four games matter for the rookie’s future.
ESPN’s Seth Walder thinks Sanders will throw at least three interceptions against Chicago’s defense. The Bears force turnovers on 19 percent of drives, best in the league. Walder pointed to Sanders’ 19.9 QBR as evidence that the conditions will destroy him. That analysis ignores what happened in Colorado.
In September 2024, against Baylor, with rain pouring, Sanders took eight sacks and kept firing. He hit 341 yards passing and launched a 43-yard prayer at the end of regulation that LaJohntay Wester somehow caught for the win for Coach Prime’s squad. Head coach Kevin Stefanski made Sanders the starter for Cleveland’s last four games specifically because the kid doesn’t fold when things get uncomfortable. The Browns took him in the fifth round after he slid from first-round projections, and he’s not planning to waste the chance.
Sanders Jr. freezing on the sideline while his brother plays through arctic conditions captures exactly what this family does. No excuses, no complaints about the situation, show up and handle it.
