Before Bucs’ Forsy -Season Final, head coach Todd Bowles Sanders for his efforts for special teams and his overall aggressiveness on the football field.
“Shilo is very aggressive, very young, very hungry,” Bowles said last week. “He can play in the box and we know he can run down and give us 100% on special teams, so this last week will be very important for these guys to show up.”

Bowles later said that Sanders’ decision making under the field on the site was unforgivable.
“You can’t throw beats in this league. I mean it’s unforgivable,” he said. “They’re going to pick you up every time. Must grow from it.”

In a video sent to social media on Thursday, Sanders shed some light on what’s next for his career.
“I feel like this is just part of my story to grow and do bigger and better things. Whether it’s finding another team, whether it gets another option in the NFL, that’s what it is,” Sanders said in the video. “My time to be with Buccaneers has been nothing but great. The city, my teammates, my coaches, everyone has poured in love and support towards me, and I will always be grateful for that.”
He suggested that there could be a career for him outside of football, including music or modeling.
“I want to talk to my agent and we’re waiting for the next option. If it’s in the NFL, cool, but God has blessed me with a lot of talent to do other things than football,” he added.
Tampa Bay visits her NFC South -rival, Atlanta Falcons, on September 7 to open the regular season.
