It’s been just a couple of years since Deion Sanders underwent a life-threatening surgery due to blood clots in his leg, a condition so severe it led to the amputation of two toes.
Now, the NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes head coach has sparked fresh concern among fans after revealing he’s been staying away from the media due to ongoing health issues.
In a recent statement, Sanders shared that he’s lost 14 pounds, adding to the growing worries about his well-being.
Known for his resilience and larger-than-life personality, Coach Prime’s candid update has left many hoping he’s getting the care he needs as he continues to battle serious health problems behind the scenes, away from the spotlight.
Asante Samuel Asked If He Had Been Fasting
In a recent conversation that shed more light on Deion Sanders’ troubling health update, former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel expressed concern over what Sanders might be going through.
Samuel asked him out of the blue, “Have you ever tried to fast before?” A question that seemed to explore whether Sanders’ current condition could be related to something voluntary, like fasting.
Sanders responded with a tone that suggested something far more serious: “I have, but what I’m dealing with right now is a whole another level.”
His words carried a weight that hinted at deeper medical challenges, far beyond the scope of intentional health practices. The brief exchange between the two former NFL CBs underscored just how concerning Sanders’ health situation has become.
And could it be the reason for his absence from Travis Hunter’s wedding?
While Coach Prime has often projected strength and determination, his candid reply suggested that he’s now navigating a difficult chapter, one that even those closest to him are beginning to realize is more serious than expected.
Deion Opens Up About His Health Issues
Deion Sanders recently talked about ongoing health issues, though he chose not to disclose specific details.
What he did share, however, was enough to raise alarms. “I’ve done no media… I ain’t been in front of nobody for a minute. You see, I lost my 14 pounds,” Sanders admitted, revealing the toll these undisclosed issues have taken on his body and energy levels.
His absence from the public eye now makes more sense, especially given his usually high-energy presence both on and off the field. Coach Prime continued, “I needed this (podcast appearance), man, and I need this exchange energy… I haven’t had the energy.”
The candor in his voice hinted at a struggle more exhausting than fans may have realized.
He added with a touch of humor, “I got Redcon1, you know, I endorsed this too, so you know I got to sell products the same,” attempting to lighten the moment even as concern for his health continues to grow.
Fans are Concerned About Deion Sanders’ Health
Fans have been quick to voice their concerns following Deion Sanders’ recent revelations about his health. On social media, many pointed out noticeable changes in his appearance and behavior.
One fan wrote, “I thought so, just saw him in a vid and honestly he looked somewhat depleted and very gaunt.”
Another added, “Makes sense why Bucky always say he wanna spend time with his dad right now instead of posting videos,” referencing Sanders’ son Deion Jr.
Speculation about Sanders’ health continued, with a third fan suggesting, “I could be wrong, but I think he was diagnosed with diabetes not long ago. I remember seeing a comment from someone wishing him well during his fight with it. Plus, you see him snacking more than normal in videos now. Either way, he in good hands.”
While Sanders has chosen to keep the specifics of his condition private, the visible changes and growing concern among fans underscore the seriousness of what he’s facing.
Here’s to hoping Coach Prime gets all the strength and support he needs. He’s got a whole lot of people rooting for him.
