Deion Sanders has navigated adversity in his life as a player and most recently as a football coach at Jackson State. But nothing caught the attention of the Pro Football Hall of Famer like the moment he found out that he needed surgery to remove two toes on his left following a bout with life-threatening blood clots.

While it has been more than 15 months since Sanders entered the hospital for nine surgeries that included eight in one month during the 2021 JSU football season, he showed footage of his amputated foot and scarred leg in a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast.
