Sheder Sanders made 143 choices before hearing his name called by the Cleveland Browns during the fifth round of the NFL recovery on Saturday.
His brother Shilo has never heard his name called.
However, Shilo, the defensive back of Colorado, with the help of his newly enlisted agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Jason Bailey, signed a free agent contract with the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay.

Bucs director general, Jason Licht, told local radio, he had spoken a lot to Shilo throughout the pre-project process. He was very familiar with him and loved him both as a player and as a person.
“We have talked a lot about (Sanders) in the process,” said Licht, via ProOotballTalk.
Licht also revealed that Papa Deion called head coach Todd Bowles shortly after the terms were accepted. The coach takes prime, the temple of fame and patriarch of the football family, shared a good warm message with Bowles.
“The Prime coach called him on Saturday evening and thanked her for giving a shot (his son),” said Licht.
Bowles said Shilo “was a hell of a tray” and that he will have the opportunity in the defensive rear field and in special teams.

“He is a hell of a set and he knows the match very well; he can very well see the game,” Bowles said on Siriusxm on Monday. “So, giving him a chance to play, we think he has a chance to help us from the point of view of security and the point of view of the special teams. So I am delighted to bring him here and see how he moves.
“I saw him tackle all year round. I saw him playing games. He is a very intelligent player and he understands the game very well. So we thought it was worth seeing what he can do. And I think he’ll show himself.”
