Shilo Sanders is making an impression in his early days with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he’s doing it in a way few rookies have before-by becoming the team’s unofficial “snack guy,” and now everyone is liking him ever since.
The undrafted safety, son of NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, revealed his plan to ingratiate himself with the veterans in the safety room. According to the Pewter Report, Sanders intends to provide snacks for his teammates during meetings, ensuring they get their favorites while he adjusts to life in the NFL.

“Shilo Sanders says his goal is to be the ‘snack guy’ for the safety room,” the report stated. “He’s going to get with the veterans to see what snacks they want in meetings and provide them. Considering all they’ll help him adjust to the NFL, he says it’s the least he could do”.
While some might view this as rookie hazing, Sanders insists it’s a genuine effort to build camaraderie. His approach isn’t limited to snacks, either. ESPN’s Jenna Laine noted that Sanders made a point to shake hands with every media member before his first press conference, a gesture that stood out among Buccaneers players.

Gratitude will pay off
“The Bucs were the first team to call, and I’m forever grateful that they gave me a chance,” Sanders said. His transition to the NFL has been closely followed, especially given his family’s football pedigree. His brother, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, has been calling him every morning at 6 a.m.-a routine that Shilo jokingly admitted was interfering with his study sessions.
The Buccaneers signed Sanders to his rookie contract following the conclusion of the draft on April 26. His father, Deion Sanders, personally thanked the team for giving his son a fair shot at making the final roster.
As Sanders settles into his new surroundings, his thoughtful gestures and willingness to embrace his role-both on and off the field-are earning him respect among teammates and fans alike. Whether his snack strategy helps him secure a roster spot remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: he’s making an impact in Tampa Bay.
