Even though he didn’t hear his name called at the 2025 NFL Draft, Shilo Sanders did manage to do alright eventually. The youngest son of Deion Sanders has secured a three-year, $2.9-million rookie contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s a more than respectable payday for someone of Shilo’s caliber.

And the secondary DB has made sure he shared the joy with his boys back home. In the latest instalment of his family’s Well Off Media YouTube series, Shilo made a trip back to his old stomping grounds to hand out gifts to his former teammates.
It was a good day to be a Buffalo — every member of the roster was presented with a brand new Apple Watch Series 10. Given that the program has garnered a reputation for dressing its players in fine timepieces, one could say that Shilo’s generous gesture was also an attempt to help maintain the culture that his family has helped create in Colorado.
With prices starting at $399 per watch, the young Buc spent no less than $39,501 on making sure that each one of the 99 players who are currently on the roster was gifted. And the players seemed to be more than appreciative. Several of them leaped at the opportunity to get in front of the camera and yell, “Shout out Shilo.”
The brothers, Shilo and Shedeur Sanders, are sorely missed in the locker room. Multiple players commented on their absence in the video. Even so, they are still happy for their former teammates who are now pursuing their dreams in the NFL.
Shilo is unlikely to figure much with the Buccaneers in Year 1. He’s expected to slowly grow and develop a lasting role with the team. However, he seems to be getting along just fine as a rookie so far. Shilo has also made sure to give his fair share of gifts to his fellow rookies in Tampa Bay as well.

During one of his most recent vlogs, the 25-year-old treated his fellow Bucs rookies to a night on the town, one that included dinner and a behind-the-scenes look at a Desi Banks stand-up show.
While Shilo will certainly have to impress everyone on the field if he hopes to stick around, the fact that he’s already been able to build some rapport with various members of the Buccaneers’ organization bodes well for his future.
