While all the attention in the 2025 NFL Draft went to Shedeur Sanders, he may not be the only Sanders in the league next season.
Shilo Sanders is also getting a chance to prove his worth with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.
He was asked to rank his top five safeties in NFL history, and his list likely will turn plenty of heads.
As shown by Dov Kleiman on X, Shilo Sanders listed Ed Reed at No. 1, followed by Ryan Clark, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Troy Polamalu and Jessie Bates.

He’s the middle son of NFL legend Deion Sanders and the older brother of Shedeur Sanders, who was ultimately taken by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round after one of the most noteworthy slides in NFL Draft history.
Shilo Sanders wasn’t projected to be drafted and was never a highly touted prospect.
He’s a hard-hitting player who makes plays in the open field, and though he’s not a lockdown ballhawk like his father was, he has solid ball skills.
He began his collegiate career at South Carolina before joining his father at Jackson State and then Colorado.
He posted 67 combined tackles, two fumble recoveries, two passes defended, one forced fumble and one sack in his final season despite missing three games with a broken forearm.
