Two of Deion Sanders's sons began their NFL training camps this week as Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Browns and Shilo Sanders signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Buccaneers.

On Tuesday, Coach Prime showed up in Tampa Bay to support his younger son Shilo during his first day of training camp. The Buccaneers' social team posted a video of Sanders and coach Todd Bowles talking on the field. Unfortunately, the audio didn't pick up what the two coaches were talking about.

It was a sweet gesture from Sanders to show support to his son during one of the biggest times of his life as he fights to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

This special appearance comes the same day Sanders's other son Deion Jr. posted a video of his dad talking about his undisclosed health issue that's kept him away from the Colorado Buffaloes since last April. Sanders admitted that “I ain’t all the way recovered." Yet, he's made a few public appearances in the last month, including at Big 12 media days and then at the Buccaneers camp.

We'll see if Sanders hops over to Cleveland sometime this week to support Shedeur, too.
