Shilo Sanders Gets Help From Antoine Winfield, Jr.
May 10th, 2025
Early to rookie camp; early to the classroom.
That was the message today from undrafted free agent safety Shilo Sanders — and after he shook the hand of every reporter in the room and wanted to know each one’s name.
Sanders, 25, is a savvy dude with the media, trained well by his famous father Deion, aka Coach Prime.
Shilo Sanders said today that his father taught him how to practice and get the most out of every rep, among other things.
Joe was more impressed with Sanders saying he arrived to Tampa early for rookie camp and connected with Bucs safety Antoine Winfield, Jr. for guidance and assistance.
“Antoine, he helped me a lot, getting me with, you know, certain coaches that I needed to talk to – to learn extra,” Sanders said. “And I was just happy for this opportunity, which is great, but I just wanted to prepare myself the best I can for this rookie camp. And [Friday] was a good day.”
Sanders flashed a couple of times today in practice, as well, which fans can read about in Joe’s practice play-by-play highlights.
Long road to make the team for the rookie, but he’s had a solid few initial steps.
