Deion Sanders is on the path to recovery. After undergoing surgery on his left leg to rectify blood clots, the Coach was released from UC Health at the University of Colorado Anschutz earlier this month. Coach Prime’s fiancee, Tracey Edmonds, shared the update on Instagram announcing his release from the hospital and arrival at home to rest. Days later, he also showed up at the Buffaloes’ indoor facility to watch the practice sessions. 

As the 55-year-old is taking one step at a time and rebuilding his health, Sanders has introduced his beloved mother, who showed up at the Colorado base to see her son, to his 3.4 Million followers in a hilarious clip he shared on his Instagram.

In the clip captioned, “Boy….you some kind of a son,” Sanders and his mother Connie Knight are caught in a classic mama-son banter. Neither one of them backs down, going back and forth, and can also be seen both ending up in fits of laughter. The clip was such a heartwarming moment between Sanders and his mother, who instilled resilience and strength into the Coach as he once admitted.
