Deion Sanders posted a message on his X account addressing the recent news that he was away from campus dealing with a health issue. Sanders tweeted that he was blessed and thanked everyone for their thoughts and prayers before insisting that "everything is OKAY and will continue to be so."
Sanders's son, Deion Sanders Jr., broke the news that the Colorado Buffaloes football coach was dealing with an undisclosed health issue during a live stream earlier this week. His other son, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, declined to comment on his father's health at minicamp on Tuesday.
Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 🙏🏾
