Now that the word is out, Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders can finally start working with his team again. He has been making the media rounds, talking to various football shows and podcasts, since he announced that he had been battling with a cancerous tumor in his bladder.
His latest appearance is on former New England Patriots Super Bowl winner Asante Samuel’s “Say What Needs To Be Said” podcast where he touched on who was the biggest help as he was battling his tumor. As it turned out, it was Deion Sanders Jr. who came up clutch during his time of need.
The two were talking about their kids and Coach Prime mentioned that it was his eldest, Deion Jr., also known as Bucky, who led his siblings through his cancer recovery.
“They gonna stick together, and Bucky the leader. I mean, Bucky the MVP, right? My oldest son, Junior, he didn’t leave my side the whole time, dog. Like I every like I saw him every day. Dad, you need some. Dad, you want some? What’s up? Then he started getting up early because you know I get up early, eat breakfast,” explained Deion Sanders. (12:40)

Before his press conference where he revealed his cancer battle, there were questions whether Deion Sanders would retire from football, with many speculating that he was once again battling even more blood clots, which previously forced him to have two of his toes removed.
Sanders noted that he was not going anywhere and is back overseeing training camp at Boulder. He stated that he knew he will be coaching again and even though his bladder is not what it used to, he said with humor that he will have to wear diapers and have a porta potty wherever he goes if he has to.
