Shilo Sanders’ exclusion from the NFL Scouting Combine raised eyebrows, but the Colorado Buffaloes safety isn’t backing down. As over 50 defensive backs received invites, Sanders took to social media, brushing off the trolls urging him to give up.

Turning the Page

Despite the setback, Sanders isn’t deterred. “I didn’t get invited to the combine, but I brought the combine to me,” he said. He’s taking matters into his own hands, bringing the same technology used at the combine to his pro day.

Proving Himself

In his final season at Colorado, Sanders recorded 45 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble. While some analysts project him as a day-three pick, his performance at the pro day could change that.

Shilo laughed off suggestions to follow his brother Deion Jr.’s media path, embracing the grind with determination. As he readies for the pro day, the Buffaloes’ safety remains focused on proving the doubters wrong.
