After a prolonged absence due to mysterious health complications, Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has finally delivered some good news to his fans and supporters. In a reassuring tweet on Friday, Sanders declared emphatically, "Back and Feeling Great!"
The health saga surrounding "Coach Prime" had been the subject of speculation for months. Sanders had been notably absent from the Colorado campus during most of the offseason, spending time at his home in Texas.
While Sanders remains tight-lipped about the specific nature of his recent health concerns, the former NFL legend had previously faced significant issues, including blood clots, emergency surgery in 2023, and the amputation of two toes in 2021.
His latest health update was eagerly anticipated, especially given Sanders' earlier comments in a video shared by his son, Deion Sanders Jr. In that footage, Sanders openly admitted, "You know I'm still going through something. I ain't all the way recovered," just moments before stepping into an ice bath alongside his daughter, Shelomi Sanders.

Despite acknowledging he wasn't fully recovered at that time, Sanders appeared active, engaging in a tennis workout, a casual basketball shootaround, and even managing a 1.3-mile "run-walk."
Now, Sanders’ new declaration of feeling "great" signals a positive turn, and fans can breathe a sigh of relief. With the Buffaloes set to kick off the 2025 season shortly, Sanders’ return comes at a crucial time.
His presence on campus is vital for guiding the team, especially given key roster changes, including the departures of standout quarterback Shedeur Sanders, defensive stalwart Shilo Sanders, and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.
All eyes will now shift toward the upcoming quarterback battle between freshman Julian Lewis and transfer Kaidon Salter, which will shape the Buffaloes’ prospects for the new season.
For Sanders and Colorado, this positive health update marks a fresh start, readying "Coach Prime" to lead his team through what promises to be an intriguing and pivotal season.
