Hearing about Deion Sanders’s health struggles was concerning after they revealed it on the Pat McAfee show. He underwent surgery to address this blood clot in his groin, which has been causing him trouble for a while and has worsened over time. Back in 2021 as well, he had to undergo surgeries for his left foot and leg. Sanders had two toes amputated from it and missed three games that season as Jackson State’s football coach.
