If you're a fan of the Sanders family, it's time to go buy a pair of jerseys.

The Cleveland Browns already had announced that Shedeur Sanders will wear No. 12 for them. And now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced brother Shilo Sanders' jersey number.

Shilo will don the No. 28 for the Bucs after wearing 21 at Colorado.

The Buccaneers signed Shilo as an undrafted free agent after a solid conclusion to his college career with the Buffaloes.

Some had projected Shilo to go as high as the fifth round, but the safety made it through the draft and got to choose his team from the offers available to him.

Whether Shilo makes the Tampa Bay roster remains to be seen, but he likely would at the very least stick on the practice squad.

No. 28 is a solid number, with plenty of famous NFL players having those digits.

By far the best Buccaneers player to ever wear No. 28 is Warrick Dunn.

The star running back wore it for 11 years from 1997 through 2008 for Tampa Bay.

Most recently, Dallis Flowers wore No. 28 last year in limited action.

Now, Shilo will try to make it his own.
