In the shadows, Shilo Sanders sets his sights on the All-Pro team

Shilo Sanders is less in the spotlight than his brother Shedeur, but he has the same goal: to earn a spot on an NFL roster.

The marauder is having a good training camp, and was outstanding in his first prep game appearance. The eldest of the Sanders brothers recently shared his goals for the coming weeks and his first season. He hopes to convince Tampa Bay Buccaneers management to make him a spot on the 53-man roster, but he also wants to become a feared player on special teams.Shilo Sanders aims to be an All-Pro on special teams, a facet of football still too underestimated

“I want to be All-Pro on special teams. Show the coaches that I can play, that I play hard, physically, and earn their trust so that one day I can impose myself on defense,” said Sanders

Currently listed as the fourth marauder in the team hierarchy, Sanders is aware of the road ahead.

Nevertheless, head coach Todd Bowles believes his player is “progressing” and has “a chance” of making the final 53-man roster.

For the son of legend Deion Sanders, the key is simple: work relentlessly and control the elements within his reach.

“I focus on what I can control. Keep running towards the ball, because effort can't be taught. At the end of the day, you have to play hard, play physical, intelligent football. That's all I can do” – S. Sanders

A mentality that could pay off

Sanders' exemplary attitude on the field and willingness to contribute on special teams could well open the door to the NFL in the long term.

The Buccaneers, looking to bolster their defensive depth and special units, could find in Sanders a player willing to give his all to stay at the highest level.

With his intensity and commitment, Shilo Sanders hopes to turn this opportunity into a lasting career, and why not, into a rookie season marked by a prestigious award.
