Overview

  • Sanders signed with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent immediately after the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • He announced his goal of being named an All-Pro on special teams to showcase his physicality and earn defensive opportunities.
  • The team’s first unofficial depth chart lists Sanders as the fourth safety entering the preseason opener.
  • Head coach Todd Bowles said Sanders is “coming along,” noting his grasp of the scheme and that he “has a chance” to make the 53-man roster.
  • Despite early praise, Sanders faces steep competition at safety and risks opening the season on the practice squad before gameday promotion.
