Deion Sanders' Cryptic Three-Word Message Comes After Publicizing Health Setbacks originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Deion Sanders continues to stay out of the spotlight. One week after the Colorado Buffaloes coach told former NFL standout Asante Samuel he was dealing with health issues that has recently caused him to lose 14 pounds, he took to social media with a motivational video with captions.

The still image in the video is of Sanders on his property in Texas, staring off in the distance with the main message of "I see you." It adds a bit of intrigue as to what might be going on. While Sanders didn't reveal many details to Samuel, he did say it has forced him not to be out in the public eye.
When Samuel asked if fasting was involved, Sanders replied by saying it was more serious. He noted that it was his first public appearance since a press conference on April 22, adding that he needed to go on the podcast for a boost.
Sanders' health challenges have been widely reported over the past four years. He previously underwent multiple surgeries related to blood clots in his lower extremities. It resulted in the amputation of two toes on his left foot while at Jackson State. In late 2024, Sanders said doctors advised removing the remaining toes, which he declined.
