2023 has been a roller coaster ride for Deion Sanders! It started with him taking over Colorado Buffaloes, which instantly met with serious rumors and speculations, due to his unconventional methods of restructuring the team. The team’s decision to switch conferences from Pac-12 added another layer of concern for many. Amidst this chaos, Coach Prime faced a severe health challenge—a blood clot in his groin, necessitating an emergency surgery that carried the risk of leg amputation.
