By Josh Sanchez
On Monday, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders made the shocking revelation that he was going through a battle with bladder cancer earlier this year, dating back to April ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Since then, Coach Prime underwent bladder removal surgery to remove the tumor. During his press conference, the University of Colorado medical team shared that Sanders is now cancer free.
Following his press conference, Coach Prime's son Deion Sanders Jr., who has been documenting the entire journey and cancer battle, shared a video titled, "For Your Glory (Part 1): Coach Prime Bladder Removal Surgery."
