It was reported that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers held a private meeting with running back Miles Sanders during his pro day at Penn State on Tuesday, per Jenna Laine.
Source tells me the Bucs had a private meeting with running back Miles Sanders at his Penn State pro day today. Running backs coach Todd McNair put him through a workout, along with running backs coaches for the Titans, Panthers and Bengals. https://t.co/7rNioRywUp

Sanders – a former teammate of Bucs’ wide receiver Chris Godwin – played in 36 games over his three years with the Nittany Lions, totaling 276 carries for 1,247 yards (6.0 yards per carry) and 12 rushing touchdowns, nine of which came during his junior season in 2018.
Sanders also added 32 receptions for 193 yards.
JC Cornell from The Draft Network added to Laine’s report.
Was told Chris Godwin would welcome his former teammate with open arms if he is drafted by the #Bucs. Would possibly let him live with him to get adjusted to Tampa & NFL life https://t.co/tClppnKoCu

Should Sanders land in Tampa following the NFL draft – while they weren’t his former teammates like Godwin – he will join defensive end Carl Nassib and offensive tackle Donovan Smith as former Penn State Nittany Lions on the Bucs’ roster.
