Antoine Winfield Talks Shilo Sanders
June 3rd, 2025
Antoine Winfield (right) walks off the practice field today with undrafted rookie safety Shilo Sanders.
So the Bucs have a couple of players whose dads were true NFL superstars: Antoine Winfield, Jr. and Shilo Sanders.
Winfield was an All-Pro two seasons ago and Sanders is an undrafted free agent trying to make the team while he reviews Tampa restaurants.
Sanders previously revealed to local media that he reached out to Winfield prior to taking the field for Bucs’ rookie minicamp three weeks ago.
Today after practice, Winfield noted that his new teammate brings a work ethic he respects.
“He plays hard. He works hard,” Winfield said of Sanders. “He really wants to learn and he just wants to improve his game so that’s something that you admire from somebody coming in who wants to learn and actually play this game.”
Those who follow Sanders on social media know he has referenced multiple times how his famous father Deion taught him very well from a young age how to train and practice. Obviously, that doesn’t mean the younger Sanders has enough talent to make it in the NFL.
But if Sanders fails, it won’t be because his preparation was lacking.
