Shilo Sanders, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going undrafted in April, has been making waves with his generosity. After participating in the Buccaneers’ rookie camp in May, where he greeted every media member with a handshake and a smile, Sanders continued to spread joy by gifting his former Colorado football teammates with a special surprise.
Sanders reportedly purchased Apple Watches for the entire Colorado football team. Defensive tackle Tawfiq Thomas shared a video of teammates unboxing the watches last week, which quickly went viral. However, viewers should be aware that the video contains NSFW language.
The gesture is a significant one, especially considering Sanders’ recent contract with the Buccaneers. He signed a three-year, \$2.9 million deal, with a first-season salary of just over \$840,000. If Sanders did, in fact, buy Apple Watches for the entire team, it likely took a considerable portion of his first-year earnings.
Regardless of the exact cost, the act is sure to generate positive attention for his father’s Colorado program. Even though both of Deion Sanders’ sons are moving on to the NFL, the Colorado football program remains a close-knit family affair.
