Shilo Sanders didn’t need a stat line to go viral on Day 1 of Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie minicamp. He just needed CeeDee Lamb to reach out on social media.
The Cowboys’ All-Pro wide receiver reached out to the former Colorado Buffaloes safety in the most CeeDee way possible, writing on Instagram:

“I NEED A JERSEY & IM NOT PAYING.”
It was the kind of moment only Sanders, 25, could spark—just hours into his NFL journey. Undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft but undeniably charismatic, Shilo has already made waves in Tampa. From his Day 1 joke about not knowing the facility code—“I know I ain’t got no code yet, so I need somebody to let me in”—to his swagger in practice wearing his new No. 28, the son of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders isn’t blending in.
That star power didn’t go unnoticed by Lamb.
While Lamb isn’t known for publicly asking other players for jerseys, his shoutout signals major respect—and it’s not the first time Shilo has drawn attention from NFL stars. His social media clips and outspoken personality have made him a fan favorite beyond Boulder.

Now, as Shilo grinds to earn a spot on Tampa Bay’s final roster, the moment with Lamb is more than a viral exchange—it’s a sign that Sanders’ influence is already stretching far beyond the practice field.
So, will CeeDee get that jersey?
With Shilo, you never really know—but it’s safe to say he won’t charge him.
