Colorado Buffaloese head coach, Deion Sanders wants to focus on his next season with his team – not his health problems.
Unfortunately for him, it was a big question before the Big 12 media day on Wednesday, because Sanders missed part of the spring and the beginning of summer with the Buffaloes due to an unrecognized health problem.
Sanders did not disclose what he was dealing with, but he said he was “already back” to normal and will soon return to Boulder to prepare for the new year.

“I’m here today,” he said, by ESPN. “I manage my responsibilities. So I look forward to it. I can’t wait. You have to understand, some young people [players] I haven’t even met yet. I am so excited about it. “”
Sanders has treated blood clots in his legs in the past. He also had two toes on his left foot amputated in 2021, which was well documented when he trained to Jackson State. He had to miss three games while being hospitalized at the time.

But Sanders, alongside the former Cowboys teammate in Dallas, Michael Irvin, and more, was ready to respond to everything Colorado on Wednesday, imploring that he is very good.
“I’m not here to talk about my health. I’m here to talk about my team,” he said.
“I look good. I live adorable. God really blessed me. Not a care in the world, not a lack or a desire in the world.”

Sanders has accepted an extension of five years worth $ 54 million to remain head coach of the Buffaloes.
With his son Sheder Sanders preparing for his recruit season with the Browns of Cleveland, “the coach prime” will focus on the choice of the right man to be his successor under the center.
Kaidon Salter, a transfer of Liberty, will face Julian “Ju Ju” Lewis for the starting role in the quarter-Arrière. They were both present at the Big 12 Media Day, with Salter saying that it was “less contact” with Sanders, but health is a priority for coaches as much as players.

“We want him to take his time and come back when he is ready so that he can coach us healthy,” said Salter, by ESPN.
