Shedeur Sanders' mom Pilar posts sweet throwback photos with her now-famous son

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is in full football mode at Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp, impressing with his throws and answering reporters questions. For Mother’s Day, his mom Pilar Sanders shared some sweet throwback photos with her son.
Shedeur’s NFL draft slide to the 144th pick seems like ages ago as he arrived early to the team’s facilities in a “Legendary” causal fit, and then surprised a local high school football team with an elite gesture. He’s also looked really good on the field.

His mom has been at games in Colorado for Shedeur and her older son Shilo Sanders, and even had an epic family photo with her two boys, her ex-Deion, and daughter Shelomi celebrating after both sons made the NFL.

For Mother’s Day, she reposted a few throwback photos with the now 23-year-old Shedeur. First was when he was at Jackson State.

And then mom showed a sweet photo of him giving her flowers at his mansion.

That’s a proud mom right there.
The photo is from Shedeur’s 2022 Mother’s Day post.
It’s also hard to believe she’s 50 years old looking like she hasn’t aged in that photo.
Hopefully Mama Sanders had a fantastic Sunday Mother’s Day full of more flowers.
