Breaking News: Ex-Wife Pilar Sanders Demands Coach Prime to Gift Shilo a Car After Powerful Message to Sons’ Farewell from CU…see more

It has been a tough few weeks for Shilo Sanders with the NFL draft looming. He was left out of the NFL Combine invite, which hurt his diminishing draft stock further, and then it emerged that he had missed payments on his 2023 Mercedes-Benz and may lose the car.

So what does Shilo do? He decided to turn up at Colorado’s ‘We Ain’t Hard 2 Find’ Pro Day showcase. The 25-year-old decided to undergo a series of evaluations in front of NFL scouts, hoping to impress them before the draft, but that might not have been his only motivation.

Shilo was in to receive a car from his father if he completed his challenge. Ahead of the Pro Day, Deion Sanders wanted Shilo to improve his speed and laid out a clear objective. A brand new car awaited him if he clocked in at 4.4 on his 40-yard dash.

That number was a lenient figure, considering Deion himself ran a stellar 4.27. But Shilo might have to wait a little longer for his car, as he fell short of nearly 1/10 of a second. He clocked in 4.52 on his first attempt, while he clocked 4.59 on his second.

After missing out on the NFL Combine, Shilo is doing everything in his power to bump up his draft stock, even hiring an outside analytics company to track his 40-yard dash time. But on this occasion, he fell short of his father’s mark for him.

Or did he? On social media, many people disputed the time Shilo was clocked during the event, and he also found support from his mother, Pilar Sanders.
