The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing Colorado safety Shilo Sanders as an undrafted free agent, per multiple reports.

Sanders had 67 combined tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and two fumble recoveries in 10 games last season, when he missed three games with a broken forearm.

The 25-year-old is listed at 6-foot and 195 pounds. He ran a 4.52-second 40-yard dash at Colorado’s pro day.

He is the older brother of former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who was selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, and son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.

Shilo Sanders played two seasons at Colorado and in 2019-20 at South Carolina and totaled 170 tackles, four TFL, one sack, one interception, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 34 games. He also played in 2021 and 2022 at Jackson State with his brother for their father.

The Buccaneers add their third rookie defensive back. They drafted Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison in the second round and Kansas State cornerback Jacob Parrish in the third round.
