Shilo Sanders not learning from past mistakes after a brutal hit where he leads with the crown of the helmet.
Some say Sanders plays the game of football with a throwback style. However, it’s a style increasingly at odds with the modern NCAA.
His play causes controversy, including on Saturday. Officials removed him from the contest for a hit on a UCLA Wide Receiver.
It was the tackle that used to be commonplace in football. Now viewed as a partial cause of CTE and other brain injuries.
Shilo Sanders Not Learning – Off Field Issues
Sanders has had off field violence issues too.
Sanders who assaulted a staff member at Focus Learning Academy – the successor to Prime Prep Academy – does it again.
A 2016 personal injury case has led to an eight figure legal judgement against Deion Sanders family including his son, Shilo, after an assault at the successor to Prime Prep Academy, Focus Learning Academy.
In September 2015, Darjean then an employee with Focus Learning Academy, was violently attacked by Shilo Sanders. Shilo is the son of Deion and Pilar Sanders.
The attack casued by the younger Sanders hospitalized Darjean for multiple days in the hospital and required siognificant medical care including spinal surgery.
The outburst by Shilo Sanders cost more than $115,000 in medical care at the time and per court documents made Darjean unable to maintain gainful employment due to permanent neurological injuries and damage to his cervical spine.
Deion Sanders had publically denied the allegations and accused Darjean of being a liar.
Darjean is a former New York Yankees prospect who ran free baseball programs for Dallas area children. He also assisted one of his students in, a Townview alumni, with starting a nonprofit to bring baseball for children with cancer.
Darjean’s suit blames Sanders and his ex-wife Pilar of failing to supervise their child and failing to raise him to not act like a savage in public.
