Shilo made the most of the opportunity, playing 37 snaps with the Bucs defense. He allowed no receptions, recorded one tackle and pressured the quarterback on a strong blitz. Tampa Bay won 27-9.

His mother, Pilar, who was present at the game, showed her support on Thursday by wearing a custom red maxi dress with Shilo’s name, jersey No. 28 and his graphics on it. She uploaded the picture to her Instagram story.

"He didn't want it. He's a Hall of Famer. He expects 30 times more. I'm gonna give it to my mom though."

Deion Sanders and Pilar got married in 1999 and had three kids, Shilo, Shedeur and Shelomi, before splitting in 2015.


Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles on Shilo Sanders performance

Shilo Sanders is competing with Kaevon Merriweather, J.J. Roberts and Christian Izien for a spot at safety. After his showing on Saturday, it seems like he’s in the good graces of his coach Todd Bowles.

“Shilo played tough. I thought he went in and did a heck of a job," Bowles said. "He had some good tackles inside, and he had a pressure on the quarterback, as well. He did some good coverage things. He did a good job when he was in there.”

Shilo Sanders has two more games and a joint practice to prove his worth, first against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, then against the Buffalo Bills.
