Shilo Sanders has a story entirely different from his brother Shedeur Sanders, far from the spotlight that surrounds him. Undrafted, Shilo earned his spot with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers through sheer effort and determination.

Shilo Sanders reveals a secret about Deion and Shedeur Sanders when it comes to a particular sport

The former Colorado Buffaloes safety signed his contract with the NFL team from Florida, but that hasn’t made him forget the university that gave him the chance to shine under the guidance of his father, Deion Sanders.

Shilo Sanders’ gesture to his former Colorado teammates

The immense joy Shilo Sanders displayed upon signing his contract was mirrored in the gift he gave to all his former Colorado Buffaloes teammates. According to a video posted by defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas, several teammates were seen opening Apple Watches last week-gifts that came from Shilo Sanders.

The player signed a three-year, $2.9 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so if he indeed bought watches for the entire team, it represents a significant portion of his rookie NFL salary, which exceeds $840,000 in his first season. Regardless of the cost, it’s a generous gesture that will boost publicity for the Colorado football program, led by his father Coach Prime. There’s no doubt that college football at Colorado is a true family affair for the Sanders.

Recently, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles spoke about Shilo Sanders’ performance in OTAs, suggesting he could have a chance to prove himself at the highest level of the NFL.

“I think he’s a good football player. 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… 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,” Bowles said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Angel Reese in trouble: Chicago Sky teammates freeze her out rather than pass her the ball

Angel Reese may have posted one of her more complete stat lines of the season on Friday, but the numbers didn't tell the full story - and they certainly didn't lift the Chicago Sky to a much-needed win. In a lopsided 88-70 defeat to the Atlanta Dream, it wasn't just the scoreboard that told a troubling tale. It was how her own teammates treated her.Angel Reese's puffy eyes show recent strugglesReese managed 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds, adding three assists and a steal in 32 minutes. But her struggles finishing around the rim - especially on layups - once again became the focus, as clips of her failed shot attempts went viral after the final buzzer.One viral post on X summed up the mood: "Angel Reese plays like Ewing when the MonStars took his talent."
