Shilo Sanders faces an uphill climb as an undrafted free agent with Tampa Bay, as a discerning depth chart at safety could leave him out of the final 53. The Buccaneers’ roster projection lists J.J. Roberts, Kaevon Merriweather, Christian Izien, Tykee Smith, and Antoine Winfield Jr. as the safeties likely to make the team, leaving Sanders off the cut line. Sanders has impressed teammates and fans with his work ethic, and a recent preseason stint against the Titans yielded a tackle and a quarterback hit that drew praise from Todd Bowles for his readiness to step up. With two preseason games remaining against AFC contenders Pittsburgh and Buffalo, Sanders has a final window to prove he belongs, including value on special teams. The August 27 deadline looms, and the Sanders family history of defying odds adds a narrative edge to his odds-of-roster storyline.
