Shilo Sanders has broken his silence after being released from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, offering an honest and heartfelt reflection on his journey while keeping his eyes set on the future.

In a YouTube video shared on August 29, Sanders expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to compete at the NFL level. Despite being waived before the season, he made it clear that he views this as just one chapter in a bigger story.

“I believe in God… I feel like this is just part of my story to grow and do bigger and better things. Whether it’s finding another team or getting another opportunity in the NFL,” Sanders said.

He also showed appreciation for his time in Tampa Bay, thanking his coaches, teammates, and the community. “It was nothing but great,” he reflected, promising to stay in shape and ready for the next opportunity.

While football remains his main focus, Sanders revealed that he is not limiting himself to one path. He’s exploring other passions—including music, acting, and modeling—talents he’s nurtured throughout his life.
“I’ve always done that my whole life… I’m well-versed,” he explained, signaling his openness to a multifaceted career if football doesn’t unfold as expected.

Sanders also spoke candidly about his undrafted status, even comparing it humorously to the path of his brother Shedeur Sanders, who has had a different experience in the draft spotlight.

Deion Sanders Speaks out:

Shilo’s father, NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, spoke proudly of his son after the news. He emphasized his belief that Shilo still has a future in professional football, while also acknowledging that his son is well-prepared for life outside the sport.

“I’m praying he gets another chance in the NFL,” Deion said, while affirming that Shilo’s resilience and versatility will serve him no matter where he lands.
