Even though he has made a return to campus while battling a mysterious health issue, University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders has not made a full recovery.
Sanders’ health problem has not been publicly revealed, but it’s serious enough that multiple people have shared their worry for the coach.
In a recent video posted on his family’s YouTube channel, Well Off Media, ‘Coach Prime’ was seen getting in an outdoor ice bath across from his daughter, Shelomi.
Shelomi, a basketball player at Alabama A&M, managed to convince her dad to join her despite his protestations.
‘You know I’m still going through something,’ the 57-year-old football coach told his daughter. ‘I ain’t all the way recovered.’
‘Coach Prime’ managed to stay in the ice bath for only a few minutes before getting out and telling her that the cold temperatures were hurting him.

Sanders has not publicly disclosed what he’s dealing with that caused him to miss CU’s camps
While Deion was seen playing tennis and ‘doing the best’ he could in a run of over a mile, the admission that he’s still recovering from this mystery ailment is still concerning.
‘Coach Prime’ missed some of the Buffaloes’ football camps over the summer after this mysterious illness forced him to stay at home.
When asked about what he was going through at Big XII Conference media day earlier in July, Sanders didn’t delve into specifics. However, he told fans ‘everything is okay’.
The Pro Football Hall-of-Famer has dealt with many health issues in the past.
Back in 2022 and 2023, Sanders had surgeries on his leg and foot – which included the amputation of two of his toes.
Last year, Colorado went 9-4 under ‘Coach Prime’. That season also saw wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter win the Heisman Trophy and get drafted second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In addition to Hunter, Colorado players Shedeur Sanders (5th round, Cleveland), LaJohntay Wester (6th round, Baltimore), and Jimmy Horn Jr (6th round, Carolina) were drafted into the NFL.
