Deion Sanders struggles with foot problems

The two-time Super Bowl winner has already lost two toes to a blood clot. In the past week, he spoke on Instagram about the lack of blood flow in his left foot, saying he no longer has any feeling on the bottom of his foot.

“I have some medical challenges with my foot, but I never say, ‘Why me?’ I always keep going. You never know what a person is going through while you are assessing them, but you can trust and believe that we are all going through something,” said the eight-time Pro Bowler.

During the 2021 season, when he was a coach at Jackson State University, he missed three games due to complications following his foot surgery.

He has been head coach at the University of Colorado since December 2022.
