Deion Sanders makes the best play of his career

Last season, I witnessed the impact that Deion Sanders has on Colorado football when his team played Kansas at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

I shared in a SportsEye that “Coach Prime” fans had traveled from Arkansas, Illinois, and other states to be part of the phenomenon. Several were not Colorado fans. Indeed, they were Deion Sanders fans. This is why Sanders’ press conference last week, when he shared his battle with bladder cancer, was the most important of his Pro Football Hall of Fame and college coaching career.

“Please get yourself checked out, especially African American men,” Sanders said as he sat in overalls with a cowboy hat atop his head.

“We don’t like going to the doctors. We don’t like nothing to do with a doctor. You know that. I’m not just talking to the brothers.
