Deion Sanders' health raises questions for Colorado Buffaloes

Colorado Buffaloes are scrutinizing Deion Sanders' health after his cancer battle, as the program fell from a 9-4, No. 25 finish in 2024 to three wins in 2025.

Sanders missed much of the offseason while undergoing treatment, limiting his on‑field involvement. The team also lost star Heisman winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the NFL, creating a talent void.

Those departures disrupted the Buffs' offensive rhythm and defensive stability. Analysts say clarifying his health will be essential for the next season.
