The final day of the 2025 NFL Draft was an emotional one for Deion Sanders, who got to watch two of his sons — Shedeur and Shilo — both land with an NFL team. Not only did Shedeur get taken by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round, but a few hours after the draft was over, Shilo signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.
Although the family was definitely disappointed about Shedeur’s fall in the draft, the emotions were different when Shilo signed. Deion was definitely excited about the fact that his older son ended up in Tampa Bay.
“I’m very thankful. Tampa’s a wonderful spot,” Deion said on the family’s Twitch stream following the draft Saturday. “Coach [Todd] Bowles is a defensive-minded guy. He’s brilliant.”
Deion was so excited about the fact that the Buccaneers signed Shilo that he actually made a personal call to Bowles to thank him, according to Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht.
“Coach Prime called him Saturday night and thanked him for giving [Shilo] a fair shot,” Licht said, via Joe Bucs Fan.
Although Shilo got signed, the former Colorado safety will be a long shot to make the roster, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. During an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio, Bowles made it clear he didn’t sign Shilo as a favor to Deion and that the signing only happened because the Buccaneers head coach sees some talent in Shilo.
“I think he’s a good football player,” Bowles said of Shilo, via JoeBucsFan.com. “He’s a heck of a tackler and he knows the game very well; he can see the game very well. So giving him a chance to play, we think he has a shot to help us from a safety standpoint and from a special teams standpoint. So I’m excited to get him in here and see how he moves. I saw him tackle all year. I saw him make plays. He’s a very smart player and he understands the game very well. So we thought it was worth a shot to see what he can do. And I think he’ll show himself well.”
During the 2024 season, Shilo finished the year with 67 total tackles, 44 unassisted tackles, two tackles for loss, two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, one sack and one forced fumble, according to Colorado.
The Buccaneers have Antoine Winfield Jr. at safety, but things are pretty wide open after that. Shilo could certainly make the team as a depth piece at safety, and as Bowles mentioned, if he can play special teams, that will help his chances of making the roster.

Hokejový útočník Šimek se vrací ze zámoří do Hradce Králové
„Pavel patří k našim odchovancům a jsem rád, že se vrací ze zámoří s cílem probojovat se do základního kádru našeho mužstva. Prostor určitě dostane a pevně věřím, že rozšíří počet odchovanců, které se snažíme zabudovávat do mužstva,“ uvedl generální manažer Aleš Kmoníček.Šimek si už během ročníku 2021/22 připsal právě v dresu Východočechů v pouhých 16 letech první dva extraligové starty. Ačkoliv byl tehdy blízko podpisu profesionální smlouvy s Mountfieldem, nakonec se rozhodl pro zámořskou cestu. Za Saint John, Rimouski nebo Charlottetown odehrál v QMJHL včetně play off celkem 194 utkání a připsal si 97 bodů za 42 gólů a 55 asistencí.„Pavel je hradecký odchovanec, který se rozhodl vrátit ze zámoří domů. Dostane, stejně jako další naši mladí hráči juniorského věku, šanci si vybojovat místo v A-týmu. Samozřejmě bude záležet jenom na něm, ale jsem přesvědčený, že svou dravostí a pohybem má předpoklady se prosadit do základní sestavy,“ řekl hlavní kouč Tomáš Martinec.
What went wrong: How Shedeur Sanders’ descent actually happened pre-draft
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> There was once an unwritten rule in the corporate hierarchy that an employee should not wear a watch that’s nicer than a superior's. Did Shedeur Sanders consider that on his first day at work Tuesday?It’s not his first job. Once the quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders now has a new employer: the Cleveland Browns. And watches are a huge part of his unapologetic persona. It’s not just that he has worn flashy watches on game day, including one that appeared to be worth $350,000. It’s that he flaunts it. When Sanders and a Nebraska player were talking trash before a game, the former Colorado QB put the watch in his opponent’s face. That "watch flex" was also a touchdown celebration, which people copied in just about every league, including the NFL. It became iconic.But that was […]
