NFL Rookie Shilo Sanders Ejected for Aggressive Behavior
Introduction
Shilo Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, had a rough end to his preseason with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In their final game against the Buffalo Bills, the rookie cornerback was ejected for taking a swing at opposing tight end, Tommy Sweeney. This type of behavior is not only unacceptable, but especially concerning for a player fighting for a spot on the roster.
Key Details
The altercation occurred during the second quarter of the game, after Sanders had already given up a touchdown to Sweeney. The two players were seen jawing at each other before Sanders took a swing, resulting in a personal foul penalty and ejection. This type of aggression is not uncommon in the NFL, but it is not a good look for a rookie trying to make a name for himself.
Impact
This incident could have a major impact on Sanders' chances of making the team. With the final roster cuts looming, the Buccaneers may be hesitant to keep a player who has shown a lack of self-control and discipline. Sanders will also likely face disciplinary action from the league, which could further hinder his chances of making a team this season.
