Shilo Sanders Shares Impressive Baker Mayfield Traits With Shedeur Sanders
June 27th, 2025
More irony for tortured Browns fans.
Undrafted free agent safety Shilo Sanders is trying to make the Bucs’ 53-man roster while he expands his Tampa Food Tour on YouTube.
Sanders talked to his audience today about how much he admires the practice habits and routines of Antoine Winfield, Jr., and how beneficial it is to have a living blueprint for success working alongside him at safety.
He had similar comments about Mike Evans and Baker Mayfield and what it’s like to practice with them. “You realize that the game is just a game, this is what it takes to be a high-caliber player,” Sanders said.
In fact, per Sanders, when his Browns-rookie-quarterback brother Shedeur Sanders calls him in Tampa, Shilo Sanders let’s him know what’s impressive about his quarterback.
“Baker’s done some things [in practice] that when whenever Shedeur calls me, I tell him about,” Shilo Sanders said. “Like how he goes from checkdown to checkdown real fast, just like little things. He’s a great guy, great quarterback and it’s always fun out here [in practice.]”
Of course, after four seasons, the Browns gave up on Mayfield in favor of trading three first-round draft picks for sleazy quarterback DeSean Watson. The Bucs have enjoyed two Pro Bowl seasons from Mayfield before his 30th birthday.
Shilo Sanders went on to talk about how he is trying to enter Bucs training camp in the best possible shape and completely mentally prepared, “so I can go in knowing everything and go in playing fast without thinking about anything, too.”
Sanders added that he’s learned in Tampa that mental preparation is most of the game and “translates to you being good at football.”
