Overview

  • Shilo Sanders, after going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent on Saturday.
  • The 25-year-old safety played six collegiate seasons across South Carolina, Jackson State, and Colorado, compiling 229 tackles and seven forced fumbles.
  • Tampa Bay offers Sanders a potential role in their safety group and special teams, addressing a position of need for the team.
  • Off the field, Sanders continues to navigate legal and financial challenges stemming from a high school incident that led to a bankruptcy filing in 2023.
  • On the same day, his younger brother Shedeur Sanders was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns after a surprising fall from first-round projections.
