NFL Hall of Famer, Deion Sanders, is currently grappling with serious health issues that have recently taken a severe turn. As the incoming Head Coach of the University of Colorado, he revealed the potential threat of a left foot amputation, after already losing two of his toes. His foot's blood circulation remains compromised, which could lead to the loss of the entire foot.
Even in the face of such grim health news, Sanders remains resilient, choosing to spread positivity and encouragement. Taking to Twitter, he shared, «Everybody has a story but your ending hadn't been written. Write the way u want this thang to go and make it happen just that way. Why can't u win now, why can't u be happy now & why can't u get what u want & need. You're the only 1 that can answer your why. But i will be there to say Why Not! Let's go baby. #CoachPrime.»
While the new challenge at the University of Colorado awaits him, Sanders' current health condition may dictate a pause in his coaching pursuits. He has expressed a preference for undergoing the potential amputation before the onset of the college football season to avoid missing games during the season. Sanders, affectionately known as Coach Prime, missed three games last season while coaching at Jackson State University due to leg-related complications.
