Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders faces a more significant hurdle entering the 2023 season than trying to turn around a football program that only won one game last year. During his tenure at Jackson State, Sanders notably had foot issues that forced him into a scooter on the sidelines. He had two toes on his left foot amputated due to blood clots.

Sanders recently posted a video showing his situation has gotten grimmer. A clip of “The Pregame,” which documents Colorado’s football season, showed Sanders meeting with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kenneth Hunt and vascular surgeons Dr. Donald Jacobs and Dr. Max Wohlauder of Colorado University.

He explained, “I don’t have feeling in the bottom of my foot at all. I just want to know what we could do because I want to do it this summer. When we get rolling, I’m not gonna have time to do it.” Dr. Jacobs gave Sanders the brutal reality he could face, saying, “You just have to understand what the risks are. Things can cascade.”

Sanders replied, saying he knew the risks, given that he only has eight toes, but Dr. Jacobs said it wasn’t the toes Sanders could lose. He said, “He could lose the foot. It’s a risk.” It’s unclear if Sanders will commit to surgery. He vowed to keep progressing in the caption of the Instagram video.

He wrote, “As you know, I’ve faced some medical challenges with my foot, but I’ve never said ‘WHY ME,’ I keep moving forward, progressing. See, you never know what a person may be going through while I sit in your seat of judgment, but you can trust and believe that we are all going through something – just keep the faith and know that if He brought you to it, He would bring you through it. I’m CoachPrime, and I’m built for this.”

Please keep Deion Sanders in your prayers as he goes through these challenging times. It may be scary, but his faith will carry him through any storm.
