Shilo Sanders impressing Buccaneers during rookie minicamp: 'He’s very intelligent'

LeSean McCoy breaks down the path for Shedeur Sanders to start for the Cleveland Browns as a rookie.

Shilo Sanders isn’t getting as much attention as his little brother, Shedeur, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie minicamp.

Sanders also knows how a good impression on the media can work in his favor, as he made sure to shake every one of their hands during his availability. After the introductions were complete, he discussed this opportunity.
