Deion Sanders’ son, Shilo Sanders, hasn’t been making many waves as we approach the NFL Draft, but now his name is in the headlines for another reason.
He currently finds himself being brought down in the courtroom.
The Colorado football safety hasn’t kept up on his payments for his 2023 Mercedes-Benz, leading the car company’s financial services to seek relief from the court where Sanders filed for bankruptcy in 2023 with more than $11 million in debt, according to court records filed Tuesday by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
Coach Prime’s middle son is being forced to relinquish his luxury vehicle to Mercedes-Benz Financial Services for missing payments.
Court records show the car company wants permission to take the vehicle.
The company alleges that Shilo Sanders is past due on $6,877 in monthly payments and that the potential NFL Draft pick has an outstanding balance of $97,239, according to USA Today.
Mercedes Benz Financial Services and its creditor attorney, Doug Koktavy, said, “The motor vehicle is depreciating in value.
“The contract is in default, and the movant (Mercedes Benz Financial Services) is being prevented by the automatic stay from exercising its remedies to repossess and liquidate its collateral, the motor vehicle.”
Sanders purchased the car in 2023 for $135,000 in installment payments. Months later, in October, he filed for bankruptcy after finding himself more than $11 million in debt.

The son of Deion Sanders was already on shaky ground with the NFL Draft quickly approaching, and he did not do himself any favors in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
The East-West Shrine Bowl, alongside the Senior Bowl, is the premier event for NFL Draft prospects to show off their skills before possibly being selected by an NFL team.
Footage showed Shilo Sanders being abused numerous times by opposing players in one-on-one drills and singled out in team drills.
Sanders might not be one of the best at his position, but he is certainly good enough to be selected.
Many predict that the Cleveland Browns will draft him with pick No. 255 in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.
Shedeur Sanders, his brother, is expected to be taken somewhere in the top-5.
