Shilo Sanders Excluded from NFL Scouting Combine Invitees

Shilo Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, was notably excluded from the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, despite being one of Colorado's key defensive players. His absence raises questions, as he was the leading tackler for the Buffaloes in 2023 and had a respectable performance at the East-West Shrine Bowl. Analysts suggest that his injuries and inconsistent performance may have contributed to his omission, while his brother, Shedeur Sanders, and teammate Travis Hunter are projected as top picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. Shilo, who has battled injuries throughout his collegiate career, will now focus on the Colorado Pro Day as a crucial opportunity to improve his draft stock. While his path to the NFL may be challenging, there is still potential for him to make an impression and secure a spot on an NFL roster, whether through the draft or as an undrafted free agent. The NFL Combine is set to take place from February 24 to March 3 in Indianapolis.
