Overview

• Shilo Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft.
• Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles commended Sanders's intelligence and communication skills during rookie minicamp but emphasized the need for strong performance in pads to secure a roster spot.
• Sanders faces stiff competition in Tampa Bay’s crowded safety room, with analysts currently excluding him from projected starting lineups.
• A $11.89 million default judgment from a 2015 altercation continues to loom over Sanders, with a federal judge recently approving subpoenas into sealed court documents related to the case.
• Despite his challenges, Sanders remains focused on proving his value to the Buccaneers and contributing to the team's defensive depth.
