or the first time since 2016, Colorado football finished the season ranked in the AP Poll. In year three of the coach Deion Sanders era, the Colorado Buffaloes went 9-4, housed the Heisman Trophy Award winner in Travis Hunter, and earned a trip to the Alamo Bowl, an eventual loss to the BYU Cougars. Following a one-win season in 2022, Colorado brought in Sanders, who rejuvenated the Buffaloes’ roster with NFL-caliber talent. Among them was Hunter and his two sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. Although Hunter and Shedeur will likely be top 15 draft selections in the upcoming NFL Draft, Shilo has a much less favorable professional outlook.On Wednesday, it was reported that former Colorado safety Shilo Sanders was not invited to the 2025 NFL Combine. Sanders spent six years playing college football across three different programs, amassing 137 tackles over his final two seasons. Despite his efforts on the field, many college football fans criticized the defensive back following news of his exclusion from the 2025 NFL Combine.
After participating in the Shrine Bowl, Colorado safety Shilo Sanders will not be attending the 2025 NFL Combine. Instead, only four Colorado Buffaloes players were invited: Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter, LaJohntay Wester, and Jimmy Horn Jr. Shilo, the elder brother of Shedeur and son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, was a key defensive player during his two seasons with the Buffaloes.
Last season, Shilo recorded 67 tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack. Throughout his career, he has also posted one interception and defended six passes. According to NFL Draft Buzz, the former sixth-year senior is projected as an undrafted free agent and ranks as the 45th overall safety. Despite his contributions on the field, many football fans criticized Shilo Sanders for his exclusion from the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
