The safety is hoping to earn himself a roster spot in Florida.

But his hopes of making it in the NFL suffered a major setback during training camp.

Sanders was listed as the team’s fourth-string safety.

The 25-year-old is said to have improved dramatically since he joined the team.

He has also apparently become a locker room favorite.

If Sanders misses out on the final 53-man roster, it will not be for a lack of effort.

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht gave him a glowing endorsement on The Pat And Aaron Show on WDAE radio.

“He does do all the right things,” Licht said.

“He’s just been an awesome kid around the facility.

“First one in. Very, very respectful of everybody, not just his coaches but, you know, people working in all aspects of the organization.

“Great kid. Rooting for him.”

Sanders, coach Todd Bowles was also asked about his progress in training camp.

“He’s coming along,” Bowles said.

“He’s getting the scheme down; he’s made plays like everybody else back there.

“There’s a few tests that come up during the preseason, Tuesday night was one.

“The other three preseason games and practices will be the others.

“He’s got a good chance to make it.”

Sanders hoped to be a late round draft pick out of the Colorado Buffaloes.

But like his brother Shedeur, he suffered disappointment in Green Bay.

Shedeur was tipped to be a late first-round pick but ended up going in the fifth round to the Cleveland Browns.

IN the wake of the Labubu craze, one major company is trying to cash in.

The iconic brand has launched a new line of plush dolls that resemble their most memorable characters.

And it’s the first time they are making their way to American soil.

You can snag one of Disney’s Urupocha-chan plush dolls for around $16.99. Meanwhile, Labubus can sell for thousands of dollars.

They take the form of popular characters like Mickey Mouse, Pluto and Stitch.

They first rose to popularity in Japan and China. 

In Japanese, “uru” means teary-eyed, and “pocha” means chubby. “Chan” is a Japanese term of endearment, according to a Disney blog.

You can purchase the pocket-sized accessories on DisneyStore.com. 

The first drop featured Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Camping Plush developed by Disney Store China.

Back in April, the Disney Store launched plush keychains featuring characters like Winnie the Pooh and Stitch.

“Now I can get all the cuteness of the medium and small-sized plush bundled up into mini 5-inch keychain versions that are perfectly nestled at home with my other stuffed animals or attached to my favorite accessory while I’m on the go,” a Disney spokesperson said.

The plush dolls are being released at a time when the popular Labubu doll has gone viral.

LABUBU CRAZE

Labubus are a type of popular plush doll made by Chinese toy company Pop Mart.

And while they blur the lines between cute and creepy, they have taken America by storm thanks to social media.

Plus, they’ve gotten recognition from celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian.

And some are selling for big bucks. 

One doll sold for a record-breaking $10,500 on eBay, The New York Post reports.

That particular doll was part of a collaboration between the toy company and Vans.

You can also buy Labubus for less than $20, but those editions are not as rare or in demand.

News of the fund came Thursday via a blog post from YouTube’s vp of sales, Adam Stewart, who also confirmed that he lost a home in January’s wildfires.
