Shilo Sanders has no shortage of rides in his garage. But now that he’s in Tampa chasing his NFL dream, most of those cars are just sitting idle.
So when Colorado offensive lineman Yahya Attia, who was born in Egypt, raised in Austria, and joined the Buffs only last year, asked if he could borrow one, Shilo didn’t hesitate. Yahya had his eye on a Mercedes-Benz sitting in storage, and Shilo was more than willing to hook him up.
What started as a simple ask turned into one of the most surprising and generous moments between former teammates. Fans are loving every bit of it.
Shilo Sanders Made Good on the Promise
Yahya Attia confirmed it himself via Instagram. In a recent story, the Colorado OL was seen cruising in Shilo’s Mercedes, clearly enjoying the ride.
In the video, he added the text: “shoutout big bro Shilo Sanders,” making it known the car was officially his, for now.
The moment quickly made rounds on social media, with fans praising Shilo’s generosity and how much he takes care of Colorado players, even though he is currently situated in Tampa, Florida.
How Fans Reacted to Shilo Sanders’ Gesture
The internet lit up with positivity after Yahya shared his gratitude, and fans were quick to recognize the heart behind Shilo’s move. One fan drew a connection to the family’s values, saying, “You remember Coach talking to Trav about leaving most of his furniture and stuff for guys that might need it?? And then saying that’s what Shedeur did with his stuff in Jackson… it’s in their DNA.”
Others echoed that sentiment with admiration: “Damn that’s them Sanders boys they want everyone to hate lol can’t humble someone that’s already humble.”
Simple messages like “That’s luv,” and “That’s awesome! Shilo is real one for that!” popped up all over X and Instagram.
Another fan wrote, “Because this is who they are!!!.”
It’s not about the car, but about what it represents. For a young player far from home, that kind of support goes beyond football. Shilo didn’t just hand over the keys; he made Yahya feel like part of the family and took him under his wing.
Shilo’s Benz: Where Power Meets Buffs Pride
Shilo’s Mercedes-Benz, which he purchased in May 2023 for around $120,000, isn’t just fast; it’s a show of personality. Under the hood, it packs a handcrafted AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo with hybrid assist, cranking out 603 horsepower. That’s enough to take it from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Its performance is on par with the flashiest sports cars out there, but with the smooth ride and comfort you’d expect from a top-tier Benz.
The original color? Polar White. But of course, Shilo gave it a personal touch with a black-and-gold twist to represent Colorado, bold, but not overdone. It’s CU pride through and through.
For Yahya Attia, the gift is about more than horsepower or luxury. It’s a meaningful gesture from a veteran teammate who didn’t have to say yes, but did anyway.
Whether it’s on the field or in the locker room, this team is built on more than just football. It’s about commitment, culture, and always showing up for one another.
