DEION Sanders has announced he underwent a private battle with bladder cancer.
The Colorado Buffaloes head coach revealed in a press conference that a tumor was discovered in his bladder.
While speaking at his press conference, Sanders’ doctor revealed that he underwent surgery to cure the issue.
He is now cancer-free after the operation to remove his bladder.
“The process wasn’t easy,” Sanders said.
Coach Prime revealed that he underwent the surgery while his son, Shedeur Sanders, was waiting for his name to be called at the NFL Draft.
“There was some scenes you saw, all the bull junk that’s transpired on draft day,” Sanders said.
“It wasn’t just that. It was just, I knew as well I had a surgery coming up.
“My sons, to this day, don’t know what transpired, I just told them it was something with my foot, because I wanted to give them the focus on making the team and not focused on dad.”
Sanders has dealt with multiple health issues during his time as Colorado’s head coach.
He had operations on his leg and foot that resulted in the amputation of multiple toes.
