Many others mocked Sanders for being cut only a day after taking a swing at Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Davidson in their preseason finale.

"Did he punch back?" one wrote.
"Damn over 1 punch," a user tweeted.
"He didn’t wave back my sources tell me," another added.

Sanders was ejected in the second quarter of Tampa Bay's 23-19 defeat after an altercation with Davidson. It was the safety's last action for the Buccaneers.

After the game, Tampa Bay coach Todd Bowles said that he wasn't pleased with Sanders' actions.

"You can't throw punches in this league -- that's inexcusable," Bowles said. "They're going to get you every time. You've got to grow from that."

Sanders was also flagged for a defensive pass interference call in the first quarter against the Bills.

Sanders played six years of college football before entering this year's NFL draft. He began his collegiate career at South Carolina before transferring to Jackson State in 2021. Sanders played his final two years of college football at Colorado.

Notably, Sanders spent the final four years of his collegiate career being coached by his father, Deion, who is a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

It remains to be seen if Shilo can find another team before the regular season after being waived by the Buccaneers.
