NATIONAL NEWS— College football coach Deion Sanders has revealed that he will undergo surgery to treat blood clots in his legs, even as he remains optimistic about returning to his coaching duties at Colorado.
At a recent press conference, the 58-year-old head coach shared that the procedure, to be performed at UCHealth, will last roughly four hours. While he declined to divulge every medical detail, Sanders firmly stated that the issue is not a consequence of the demands of coaching.
“This has nothing to do with me working at the level I’m trying to compete at,” Sanders said. “It’s hereditary, it is what it is. There’s nothing I could have done to stop what’s transpiring.”
Sanders leaned on his faith to maintain calm and confidence, saying, “I trust God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.” He also injected a bit of humor into the announcement, joking that he was looking forward to the anesthesia — likening the experience to his own version of “Snoop D-O-Double-G.” He noted that although he’s never used drugs or alcohol, he finds the post-surgery sensation amusing.
Concluding the conference, Sanders expressed gratitude to everyone who offered their support and reassured fans and followers, “I’m gonna be alright.”
