This past Saturday, Shilo was ejected from a preseason matchup with the Buffalo Bills after he threw a punch at tight end Zach Davison. A day later, the Buccaneers informed Shilo that he was being waived from the team.

Despite this situation, Shilo's father continued to express optimism in his professional trajectory, a move that earned the admiration of fans like Rose.
