Shilo

Sanders

Deion’s other son played for the Buccaneers in training camp and was waived well ahead of final cuts. This is the first time we’ve seen him on the league’s transaction wire since.

Sanders threw a punch towards Bills tight end Zach Davidson in the team’s third preseason contest and was eventually waived by the franchise. Coming after his release, the fine represents more than three times Sanders’ guaranteed money this season. Sanders remained unsigned.

Sanders will now head to waivers, where he can be claimed by teams in need of safety play. There are multiple teams in need of positional help currently but there is no guarantee he will land on his feet, which would then make him available to be added to the Buccaneers’ practice squad.

No surprise here, as Sanders (6'0/195) will play for his father Deion at Jackson State. Shilo will also have the opportunity to call his younger brother Shedeur, a member of the Tigers’ 2021 recruiting class, a teammate. In nine games for the Gamecocks this season Shilo, who made four starts, tallied 32 total tackles (23 solo) and one pass breakup at safety. He was used all over the secondary during his time at South Carolina, and that versatility will prove to be quite useful for Jackson State.

Sanders (6'0/195) is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. He was a steady presence in the Gamecocks lineup, recording 32 tackles, 23 solo, and a PBU in nine games and four starts at safety. The four-star recruit had been hotly pursued on the recruiting trail before settling on South Carolina, as he had considered Nebraska, Colorado and Tennessee in addition to a host of others. On the ESPN 300, the versatile defensive back -- he has upside at nickel and safety as well as corner -- ranked as the No. 287 overall prospect in the 2019 class.

Sanders (6'0/178) is the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. Tennessee, Nebraska and Colorado were among the programs which had been angling for his pledge prior to his throwing in with the Gamecocks on Tuesday night. He settled on USC after taking an unofficial visit to the program over the weekend (he took his official visit to South Carolina in October). On the ESPN 300, the versatile defensive back -- he has upside at nickel and safety as well as corner -- ranks as the No. 287 overall prospect in the 2019 class.
