Deion Sanders is one of the most recognizable names in football. His legendary NFL career coupled with his time in the media was enough to have him making headlines. However, his time as the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes has put him on the front page.
Recently, Sanders has been dealing with some scary health issues that has forced him to leave Colorado and stay home. Now, a video has leaked regarding his current condition.
“Oh My God” Deion Sanders Sees Video Leak Of Current Health Condition, Fans In Shock
In the weeks leading up to the Colorado Buffaloes’ third season under coach Deion Sanders, there is no shortage of intrigue surrounding the program. Football isn’t the only subject this time:
“Coach Prime” has been away from Boulder in recent weeks while battling an undisclosed medical condition. On Sunday evening, a new video posted to the Well Off Media YouTube channel and Sanders’ Instagram shed new light on just how serious that battle has been.
“Last night was tough, yesterday was tough, because I had to make a will,” Sanders said solemnly in the video. “That’s not easy at all to think that you may not be here.”

Sanders didn’t go into specific detail about the illness in the video, but his tone underscored the gravity of what he’s been facing.
Colorado fans have expressed concern over his prolonged absence from team activities this summer, and the news that he had to prepare for the worst only adds to the weight of the situation.
The video, filmed on May 9, shows a vulnerable side of Sanders we rarely see as he reflects on the emotional process of making end-of-life arrangements. Though he maintained his usual poise, the admission was a stark reminder of how health challenges can strike even the most high-profile figures in sports.
While the full extent of Sanders’ condition remains unclear, his son, Deion Sanders Jr., offered a more hopeful message in the same video. He described the health scare as a battle “fought and won,” suggesting that Coach Prime is now on the mend.
“As the battle was fought and the battle was won,” Sanders Jr. said. “That’s a little bit of what he went through. A little sample. Tomorrow he’s having his press conference, and that’s when y’all really going to see a lot of it, after that press conference is over with.”
Coach Prime is expected to speak publicly about his condition during a press conference today, and fans are eagerly awaiting more clarity. If his son’s tone is any indication, it appears the worst may be behind him, but the emotional toll may still linger.
This isn’t the first time Sanders has faced serious health challenges. In 2022, while coaching at Jackson State, he underwent multiple surgeries on his foot, resulting in the amputation of two toes. Despite those setbacks, he returned to the sidelines with the same intensity and swagger that made him a Hall of Fame player and one of college football’s most recognizable coaches.
Now, as he prepares to rejoin his team ahead of fall camp, the personal battle Sanders has endured over the summer adds yet another chapter to his already remarkable story.
