Deion Sanders Showed His True Character By Putting Others Before Himself After Leg Surgery

People who don’t know Deion Sanders love to hate Deion Sanders. They call him arrogant and self-important, among many other things.

Meanwhile, people who do know Deion Sanders praise him for his genuine care for others.

This kind of thing often happens in college football and sports in general. Outside opinions frequently present a contrast to reality.

Deion Sanders cares.

Sanders has been dealing with health issues since the beginning of the season. That has not stopped him from being on the sideline, no matter what it takes.

His most recent surgery took place in the middle of last week. It was his 16th different procedure in the last 16 years, which required Karruche Tran to take care of him while at the hospital.

And yet, there he was to lead Colorado out of the tunnel only a few days later.

If just being there was not selfless enough, Sanders went out of his way to support an injured player on the opposing team during the game.

Sanders walked all of the way across the field to check on the injured opponent. He himself struggled to walk comfortably but the health of another was more important in that moment. Pretty cool.
