New Angle Of Shilo Sanders’ Vicious Punch Answers Release Decision (Watch)

Shilo Sanders being released from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has made massive headlines.  It may be because he threw a punch during a game and jot ejected.  It could be because his father is Deion Sanders and brother is Shedeur Sanders.  Regardless of the reason, a video of the incident has shown why Tampa Bay made the decision they did.

As a rookie in the NFL, Shilo Sanders hasn’t had the easiest start:

The former Colorado defensive back went from being led to believe that his family would dictate where he went in the draft to not being drafted at all. He and his brother, Shedeur, experienced outcomes wildly off the mark in terms of their expectations.

It’s why he “fired” his father, Deion Sanders, as his agent.

Shilo got himself an opportunity with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on an undrafted free agent contract, which has led to some impressive snaps and quite the gameday outfit from his mom.

With the Bucs playing their final preseason game this Saturday, the rookie was ejected after throwing a punch at Buffalo Bills tight end Zach Richardson.

You can see it in a video posted to Twitter/X by ESPN’s Adam Schefter right below:

Fans suggested that Shilo is walking a tightrope and is at risk of not even making the roster.

“What a way to start a career. He won’t be in the league too much longer if that continues,” one wrote.

“The nfl don’t want these sanders kids for some reason,” another said.

He will hope that they’re wrong.
