Shilo Sanders’ NFL career may not be over just yet. On Tuesday, the former Colorado Buffaloes star worked out with the San Francisco 49ers. It was his first workout since being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in August.
Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith didn’t indicate that a signing was close, but he did sound hopeful that this opportunity is one that can lead to other workouts if the Niners don’t sign him.
“Free agent cornerback Shilo Sanders is getting another opportunity to show an NFL team what he can do,” Smith wrote.
“The 49ers brought Sanders in for a workout today.
“There’s no indication that the 49ers are close to signing Sanders, but his workout gives him a chance to show an NFL team what kind of shape he’s in, and hope to get added to a practice squad.”
Shilo was just talking about continuing his career in acting or focusing on streaming, with Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Miami all potential landing spots. Perhaps continuing his football career can get in the way of that.
Shedeur likes Miami, are Dolphins possible landing spot for Sanders family?
Shedeur reportedly has an affinity for the city of Miami. If the “Grown QB” had it his way, he’d be playing where he loves vacationing, likely with his brother by his side. And if those two team up, their father might want to consider reuniting with his sons.
Deion Sanders has said he’d only coach in the NFL if he could have both of his sons with him. We know he misses having Shedeur as his quarterback, and it’s obvious the feeling is mutual, considering the Cleveland Browns’ current QB depth chart. The entire family is worse off without each other.
The Dolphins look poised for an overhaul with the way they’re playing. Still, Coach Prime probably isn’t on any NFL franchise’s radar besides Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’s, and his health situation makes coaching at Colorado difficult enough.
It’s a fun thought, though.
