Shilo Sanders Joins Buccaneers After Going Undrafted

Shilo Sanders has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going unpicked in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

After the news was announced, Shilo, who was live streaming the NFL Draft from home with his brother Shedeur, was joined by his dad Deion, who gave him a Buccaneers hat to wear. Shilo danced to commemorate the achievement. 

When the final pick of the NFL draft came and went without him getting drafted, Shilo reacted by remaining positive.

"All right, their pick is in, bro. It is what it is, bro. I got to go get signed," he said during te stream. "Try to get in camp. Y'all just think about [former undrafted free agent] Ryan Clark though, one of the greatest safeties I ever played. He went undrafted, just like me."

Just like Shilo, Shedeur had his own issues with not being selected in the draft. While some fans and commentators figured that he would go within the first round, Shedeur didn’t get scooped up until the Cleveland Browns selected him with the 144th pick. 

Through it all, Shedeur was confident, just like his brother. After remaining unselected on the second day of the draft, Shedeur told the public, “God don’t make mistakes. I got faith in God no matter what.” 

When his name was finally called, Shedeur posted “Thank you GOD,” on X before celebrating by hopping into his pool. 

When asked if he would be performing music again, Shedeur revealed that he now wants to focus solely on playing football. He dropped his first song, “Perfect Timing,” last year.
