$3.6B Franchise Signs Shilo Sanders as Brother Shedeur Finds Home in Cleveland After Being Blackballed

“I’m built for whatever today may bring,” said Shedeur Sanders on the draft’s first day. No one in their wildest dreams saw him sliding out of the first round. Things didn’t stop there, they worsened. His wait stretched out to the third day while four QBs rated less highly than him were picked on the second day. The NFL gave him a low-key message: everything works as per the owner’s wishes. Or as an LOTR fan might put it, ‘You have no power here!’ The GMs seemed to be united in humbling Sanders, as he even got prank-called about getting drafted. But finally, relief came for him and his elder brother, Shilo Sanders.

The $3.6 billion valued franchise, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, signed Colorado safety Shilo as an undrafted free agent. He likes to play a physical game and recorded 72 tackles in 2023, the most for Colorado that season. Also, his ability to play above and beyond his physical frame also makes him a potential game-changer at safety who can raise his game in crucial moments. His younger brother is also feeling relaxed.

After going undrafted in first four rounds of the draft, the Browns finally drafted him in the 5th round (144th overall). They traded up by sending picks 166 and 192 to the Seahawks. The quarterback was relaxed after getting signed and said, “I’m favored, I’m blessed. Besides that, it’s not really anything that changed, the love of the game, is still the love of the game.”

Stay tuned! There’s more to this story.
