Shilo Sanders Reveals Preferred NFL Team for His Career
Shilo Sanders, a former safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is facing uncertainty in his rookie NFL season. After initially signing with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent, he was cut the day following the team’s final preseason game. Despite having a brief tryout with the San Francisco 49ers, Sanders has not secured a position with any NFL team, making his aspirations to continue in professional football increasingly challenging.
Shilo Sanders Expresses Desire to Play with Brother
Recently, Sanders made headlines during a Thanksgiving family gathering. In a heartfelt video that gained significant traction on social media, he expressed a desire to join the Cleveland Browns, where his brother Shedeur Sanders is a rookie. Shilo prayed over their Thanksgiving dinner, seeking divine assistance in pursuing his NFL dream.
- Prayer Quote: “Dear Lord, please allow Shedeur to do his best so he can pull some strings and get me on the Browns too.”
- Desired Jersey Number: Initially, Shilo mentioned wanting No. 21, the number of franchise player Denzel Ward. However, he later settled for No. 28.
Challenges on the Path to the NFL
This viral Thanksgiving moment is not the first time Shilo Sanders has turned to social media to share his journey. In October, a previous video captured his interaction with a fan, which also went viral. In that incident, when asked for money, Sanders humorously responded:
“Bro, I just got cut from the NFL. I don’t got no money, bro. You got to go ask like Shedeur. [My NIL money] is gone, bro. Y’all got to ask Shedeur. But look, if I get back in the league, I got you.”
Current Status
As of Week 13, Shilo Sanders is without a team and is actively seeking opportunities to continue his football career. His aspirations and comedic honesty have made him a figure of interest among fans, but the road ahead remains uncertain.
Shilo’s situation highlights the unpredictable nature of the NFL, especially for undrafted players. His bond with Shedeur adds a poignant layer to his pursuit, and all eyes will be on their potential future together in the league.
