Colorado Buffaloes’ head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders underwent emergency surgery earlier this week to repair blood clots in his leg. Thankfully, “Prime Time” appears to be doing just fine following the procedure.
Sanders’ girlfriend, Tracey Edmonds, posted an encouraging update on her Instagram page — where she thanked everyone for their prayers.
In 2021, the two-time Super Bowl champion had to have two toes amputated on his left foot because of blood clots. Last week, it was reported that he may have to have the entire foot amputated, but Sanders stated that he would undergo surgery to avoid that.
After coaching at Jackson State for three years, the former MLB and NFL star agreed to join the Buffaloes’ football program. In three years at Jackson State, Prime Time compiled a 27-6 record and led the school to a pair of SWAC Championship Game wins.
Widely regarded as the greatest cornerback of all time, Sanders was an eight-time Pro Bowler and First-Team All-Pro. Sanders won 1994 Defensive Player of the Year honors and helped the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl 29 championship.
