“I don’t know if I’m ready mentally, emotionally,” Sanders said in the video. “Last night was tough, yesterday was tough because I had to make a will. That’s not easy at all, to think that you might not be here.”
The clip was from a longer video Sanders’ son, Deion Jr., posted on the Well Off Media YouTube channel.
Deion Jr. said his dad wanted him to document the health journey.
Sanders, 57, is set to hold a press conference on Monday at 1 p.m. ET with his medical team to discuss his health issues, the details of which have been kept quiet.
It does appear, however, that Sanders is on the mend.
“Back and Feeling Great!” he wrote on X Friday morning.
Sanders attended Big 12 Media Day in Frisco, Texas on July 9.
The former NFL cornerback missed a chunk of Colorado’s offseason work due to the health issue, along with a contract-stipulated summer camp in Boulder.
During an appearance on fellow former cornerback Asante Samuel’s podcast in May, Sanders said, “what I’m dealing with right now is at a whole other level.”
In recent years, Sanders has had multiple legs surgeries due to blood clots, one of which in 2021 resulted in the amputation of two toes on his left foot. He then had several blood clots removed in 2023.
