BOULDER — Deion Sanders already has a victory under his belt in 2025. The CU Buffs football coach announced Monday that he beat bladder cancer.
The CU Buffs coach addressed his health Monday at the CU Touchdown Club adjacent to Folsom Field. He was flanked at the table by Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of Urologic Oncology at CU Cancer Center and by Lauren Askevold, CU’s assistant athletic trainer.
Sanders was diagnosed with bladder cancer during a health check up this spring, the coach said.
“Get checked out,” Sanders said. “Because (this) could have been a whole (other) gathering if I hadn’t.”
Sanders, 57, has coached through health challenges before. The Pro Football Hall-of-Famer missed three games with Jackson State in 2021. He’s battled blood clot issues in the past, and had surgery to address a clot in his right leg in 2023.
