Deion Sanders sets the rules and reveals how he’ll divide his estate

Deion Sanders has always been more than a sports icon. His straight-shooting style, ability to transform teams, and magnetic media presence make him a unique figure beyond the field. Now, as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Sanders has once again taught a lesson. This time, off the gridiron. Following a serious health scare, he’s made some deeply personal revelations.

Speaking on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz, Deion Sanders shared that he had to reorganize his will. The reason? A challenging medical episode involving blood clots that tested his resilience. In the middle of all this, he faced a tough call: how to fairly allocate the inheritance among his children.

Dividing the pie

And yes, according to Marca, there were adjustments. Deion Sanders was upfront: his son Shilo Sanders, a defensive standout at Colorado, “deserves a little more” than the rest. But this isn’t about favoritism, he stressed. Shilo made the switch to Colorado specifically to play under his father’s leadership. Sanders emphasized that Shilo’s commitment—on and off the field—is what earns him that extra edge. It’s about loyalty, effort, and being present.

This revelation took many by surprise. For Deion Sanders, every play matters—even the ones made at home. His will became a reflection of his coaching philosophy: rewarding discipline, showing up, and staying true.

More than just assets

Beyond financial matters, Deion Sanders showed a softer side by joking about his one-year-old grandson, Snow. He quipped, “Now we’ve got the same problem,” referring to both needing diapers after his surgery. That kind of humor is classic Sanders—mixing vulnerability, truth, and laughs without ever losing the authority of Coach Prime.
