Shilo Sanders has officially inked his first NFL contract, agreeing to a three-year, $2,965,000 rookie deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The versatile defensive back, known for his hard-hitting style and playmaking instincts, now joins a team eager to infuse youth and energy into its secondary.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced that former Colorado safety Shilo Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders, will wear No. 28 for the rookie minicamp. Sanders was not selected in the 2025 NFL draft and instead signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent. He was one of 15 undrafted players to sign with the Bucs and one of two safeties.
