Now, Shilo Sanders is facing the wrath of fans, while his father, head coach Deion Sanders, focuses on the next step in his own battle.
Recently, after a video of Shilo went viral on social media, he has been heavily criticized. While Coah Prime deals with his own setbacks, the attacks on his son by fans have become his dose of antibiotics
Shilo Sanders Gets Roasted by Fans After $5 Million Joke with Dad Deion Sanders
Before news of Sanders’ release broke on Wednesday, a video quickly went viral showing the coach sharing a laugh with Shilo during a difficult time.
In the clip, he jokingly asked his dad for $5 million before his surgery, saying, “If you give me $5, I’ll make sure you’re alive.” 😂
The conversation was longer than what you initially had. Shilo started by pointing out his dad has too much money to keep getting surgeries.
Shilo: “But you have too much money to be getting all these surgeries though.”
Deion: (Asks what he’s supposed to do about it)
Shilo: “If you give me $5 million just to have, I will make sure that you don’t have to get surgery anymore. I’ll make sure you have the best care.”
Deion: “I know where your care is coming from. I don’t want nothing to do with your care.”
Shilo: “If you give me five, I’ll make sure you’re alive.”

Thereafter, fans flooded social media. They roasted Shilo and quipped about his $5 million joke, though the exchange gave Coach Prime an easy time to spend in the boring hospital room.
One fan wrote, “Talking about money in that situation is crazy..”
Another added, “Shilo Sanders actually needs 11 million to pay to a white security guard that Shilo violently assaulted at his football factory prep school in 2017. The man is permanently disabled and ZERO of the judgement has been paid to the victim of an unprovoked attack by sub-human Shilo.”
Someone else said, “That’s not funny . He does not get it”
Another fan quipped, “Yo someone get my guy a sitcom😆”
One more added, “Shouldn’t have squandered his NFL dream so quickly lol he’s only half joking lol”
And finally, “Wholesome content 🤣”
As the next game approaches, fans are busy roasting Shilo, and the frenzy surrounding him will be something to watch. However, he should not return to training camp soon after the surgery.
Coach Prime Hospitalized Following TCU Defeat
After Colorado’s 35-21 loss to TCU on Saturday, October 4, Deion Sanders was dealing with severe pain in his left leg. He confirmed during a press conference on Monday, October 7, that he would undergo surgery.
Blood clots in his left leg had returned. The Colorado coach said he would be having an aspiration thrombectomy procedure to remove them. However, this isn’t his first but 16th surgery at the same place.

For the unversed, he had two toes removed on his left foot in 2021 while coaching at Jackson State because of femoral arterial clots. Last year, he had surgery to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten the toes on his left foot.
While preparing for surgery Tuesday night, his son Shilo posted a video in which Coach Prime discussed his condition. Less than a day after the procedure, he returned to practice on the very next day.
