Deion Sanders’ fans expressed concern for his health when the Colorado football coach resurfaced in a new video after taking time off for medical reasons.
In the new video posted on his Instagram page, Deion is seen fishing on a boat with his former star player Travis Hunter and friends. Even though Travis is no longer a Buffalo, he remains close to his mentor Deion.
In the video, Deion, 57, wore a dark grey sweatshirt in stifling 95-degree Texas weather. Cold sensitivity is one of the signs of anemia and poor blood circulation.
Two weeks ago Deion confirmed he was dealing with health issues after losing 14 lbs. Deion’s playing weight was 195 lbs. He now weighs about half that.
Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin broke down and cried after visiting Deion at his home in Canton, Texas. In an episode of his podcast, Michael said he is “pulling for Deion.” He added, “Pray for my boy!”
“Whenever I’m with him, we laugh like I don’t know what,” Irvin said. “This is my boy. I battled with this dude. I know how strong this dude is. I know how he is. He’s physically strong, mentally strong, emotionally strong. He’s strong. And we’ve had battles, and I respect him as a giant.”
“I’ve never seen Deion not want to battle,” he added. “I guarantee you he’s going to be OK. That’s the most important part.”
