When he tried to confiscate the teen’s phone, Sanders allegedly got violent giving Darjean serious injuries. As a result of the brutal attack, John Darjean was rushed to a local hospital where he later needed spinal surgery.
John Darjean’s medical expenses were cover by an insurance company –which is now suing the teens parents. The insurance company thinks Deion Sanders and Pilar Sanders should reimburse them, claiming the parents of the troubled teen, perfectly knew of his history of reckless conduct and never did anything to curb his behavior. The company is suing for $26k.
Sanders who spent time with five different NFL teams, won two Super Bowls during his career. He was named first-team All-Pro nine times at cornerback in addition to receiving All-NFL acclaim by some media outlets as a kick returner in 1992 and as a punt returner in 1998. He was also elected to eight Pro Bowls during his career.

In 2015, Sanders was vindicated when the court awarded him a $2.2 million judgment against his ex-wife in the case. Sanders was awarded primary custody of all three children.
