Shilo Sanders takes cheeky jab at brother Shedeur Sanders for "messing up" Coach Prime's son's study session

Shedeur's brother, safety Shilo Sanders, declared for the NFL draft this year but was passed on by teams in all seven rounds. Eventually, Shilo signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

At the ongoing Bucs' rookie minicamp, Shilo Sanders told ESPN's Jenna Laine about experiencing the NFL at the same time as his quarterback brother. Shilo joked that since both he and Shedeur are on different teams, Shedeur has been calling him regularly, as he misses his sibling.

Shilo Sanders joked about how Shedeur wants 'brotherly love' and how he hilariously criticizes him for interrupting his "study session".

"He's been missing me," Shilo said. "He's been calling me in the morning at 6 a.m. because we are on the same schedule right now, actually. ... He wants some brotherly love. You know, he misses me as the big brother who's not next to him no more at practice, and, you know, we talk a lot.

"Like he would call me in the morning, and he actually called me, I stayed later to meet with Coach Rashad. And he had called me during the meeting and I'm like, 'Yo, bro, you messing up my study session.' But nah, we talk."

Shilo and Shedeur have been playing together since their Jackson State days. The safety joined the program after their dad became the coach in 2021. All three arrived in Boulder together in 2023 and helped change the course of the program over the past two years.

On Friday, Shilo inked a rookie deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, agreeing a three-year contract worth $2.965 million.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles shares his thoughts on Shilo Sanders after Day 1 of rookie minicamp

Bucks coach Todd Bowles, after the first day of minicamp, praised Shilo Sanders praise for his performance in the rookie minicamp.

Bowles called the safety "intelligent" but believes Shilo needs to show his growth on a daily basis.

"Like the rest of the safeties, he's very intelligent, he's very loud," Bowles said.

"You can hear him today, making calls and everything, so he has a good grasp of things Day 1. ... But you have to make plays in pads. That's what it comes down to - knowing what to do and then doing it consistently and constantly getting better every day."

Shilo Sanders was approved to wear No. 28 as his jersey number by the Bucs. He has a long way to go if he wants to leave behind a legacy like his two-time Super Bowl-winning dad in the league. However, it looks like his first steps have been satisfactory for Bowles.
