Shilo Sanders Joins Buccaneers as Undrafted Free Agent

After going undrafted in the NFL Draft, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders, son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. Shilo, who previously played at South Carolina, Jackson State, and Colorado, led the Buffaloes in tackles in 2023 and is recognized as a hard hitter with notable playmaking ability, including a pick-six and several forced turnovers. His signing was announced during a live Twitch stream with support from his father, emphasizing the excitement and attention surrounding the Sanders family. The Buccaneers, who have a need at safety following roster moves, offer Shilo a legitimate opportunity to compete for a roster spot. In addition to Shilo, Tampa Bay also signed Florida defensive tackle Desmond Watson as an undrafted free agent, addressing other key positions. Although undrafted free agents face long odds, Shilo's experience, versatility, and family pedigree make him an intriguing addition to the Bucs' roster.
