Browns QB Shedeur Sanders tells his dad to keep at arms length during camp
As he partakes in his first training camp as a member of the Cleveland Browns, quarterback Shedeur Sanders offered his dad a firm suggestion. Sanders told his father, NFL Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders, to stay away from practice. Speaking to Michael Irvin, Sanders said his son told him he wasn't where he needed to be for Deion to come around the facility just yet. Here is what Deion said about his conversation with his son: 'He didn't want me to come. He was like, 'Dad, I may get 3, 4 reps in practice. I don't want you seeing that. I'm not where I want to be. Let me get where I need to be. … He ain't mad. He's like, I got work to do but I'm going to put in this work … When preseason come, watch me work.' Shedeur Sanders will have that chance to put in that work next week. With Kenny Pickett sidelined with a hamstring injury, Sanders will not only see an uptick in practice reps, but may also now get the entire second half of the Browns' first preseason game to himself. The Browns have stated via Cleveland dot com's Mary Kay Cabot that they aren't bringing in another quarterback to eat preseason snaps, so the bulk will be on Sanders. Will the fifth round pick capitalize? This article originally appeared on Browns Wire: Browns QB Shedeur Sanders tells dad to keep at arms length during camp

Deion Sanders says he never questioned God during his battle with bladder cancer
Deion Sanders revealed Monday he had his bladder removed after he was diagnosed with cancer, but he said he never questioned God, no matter how difficult things were. Sanders, 57, said God has blessed him too much to ask, 'Why me?' "I have never questioned God. You know my faith, man," Sanders said during an interview with Michael Irvin. "I never questioned and ask God. 'Why me?' I can't. Why me am I living like this? Why me am I the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes? Why me am I on this wonderful university? Why me do I have these wonderful kids with my last name? Like, why me that God has blessed me so much. Like, I would have to ask God, 'Why me all that, too?' "So, I never asked God, 'Why me?'" Sanders said he only asked the Lord to show him the way. "I only said, 'Lord, show me. Show me what you trying to do so I can help you expedite the process. Just show me. We got this, Lord. I know I ain't going nowhere,'" Sanders said. "I know for the enemy to try me, you had to say, 'Have you considered my servant crime?' You had to say that for him to even get to me. So I know that, I'm yours. I know what you going to do with me. I know what you going to continue to do with me." The bladder removal has forced Sanders to undergo a complete lifestyle change, which he said he reached out to someone for advice on how to deal with the changes. Sanders urged people to get checked, because he only discovered the cancer in the bladder after an ACT scan of his vascular pattern to determine if his blood clots were away. The Colorado head coach said it was "unbelievable" to be back talking to his players again. Colorado went 9-4 last season and will look to improve on that record this season after losing Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and starting quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the NFL.

Deion Sanders opens up on 'lifestyle' changes brought about from bladder removal surgery
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders said he had his bladder removed after he was diagnosed with cancer during a press conference on Monday, and he said it has changed his lifestyle. Sanders, 57, said he asked his doctor to put him in touch with someone who had been through the same procedure so he could get advice on how to do the "little things," like going to the bathroom. "So I contacted this gentleman, 'OK, let's take the basics going to the bathroom,' He say, 'No. 2, you cool, ain't nothing different about that,'" Sanders said during an interview with Michael Irvin. "'But No. 1, you have to push through your stomach and force the pee out. Like you can't just pee. And when you feel like you got to pee, you need to pee or you going to start leaking.'" "Thank God for Depends." Sanders said that sleeping is one of the things that has changed since the surgery. "And it is a whole challenge, even sleeping, like Mike, you don't understand, like sleeping man, so to start off you go to towel up under your bed of these mats because you're going to pee on yourself," Sanders said. The Pro Football Hall of Famer reminisced about his playing days while he has gone through the change. "And you sitting up there like you are heralded as one of the best athletes to play the game and you are peeing on yourself, man," Sanders said. The Colorado head coach said he also asked the person whom he sought advice about being able to have sex. "As a man, I'm like OK, now, let's get to the sex," Sanders said. "And it's some intimate details I don't want to disclose, but it's normal, but it ain't normal." The two-time Super Bowl champion also asked if he would be able to make it through a game this fall, and decided that he needs a Port-a-Potty on the sideline. "This is a lifestyle change," Sanders said.

Deion Sanders calls for uniform crackdown in college football
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders earlier in the week suggested a more rigid approach when it came to policing uniforms in college football. Sanders appealed to the NCAA to enact NFL-style fines for college football players, specifically pointing to players who refuse to wear any gear below the knees, at Big 12 Media Days. "Let's do something about the uniforms," Sanders said, via Pro Football Talk. "We've got guys in biker shorts. That makes me sick because I'm a football guy… I played this game at a high level and I have so much respect for this game. How can we allow guys out there in biker shorts, no knee pads, no nothing, literally pants up under their thighs, and that's cool? "I think there should be a fine implemented for that stuff, and let's have more respect for this tremendous game." Sanders had a few things to say during Big 12 Media Days, including getting testy with a reporter over his health scare. "I'm here today," he said, per ESPN. "I'm handling my responsibilities. So, I look forward to it. I can't wait. You've got to understand, some of the young [players] I haven't even met yet. I'm so excited about that." Sanders has dealt with blood clots in his legs in the past. He also had two toes on his left foot amputated in 2021, which has been well documented while he was coaching at Jackson State. He had to miss three games while being hospitalized at the time. But Sanders, alongside former Dallas Cowboys teammate Michael Irvin and more, was ready to answer all things Colorado on Wednesday, insisting he is all good. "I'm not here to talk about my health. I'm here to talk about my team," he said. "I'm looking good. I'm living lovely. God has truly blessed me. Not a care in the world, not a want or desire in the world." Sanders agreed to a five-year extension worth $54 million to remain head coach of the Buffaloes. Colorado was 9-4 in 2024.
