Warren Sapp Reacts Emotionally to Deion Sanders’ Health Update: “Love You To Death”
NFL Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes pass rush coordinator Warren Sapp was visibly moved after his longtime friend and colleague, Deion Sanders, addressed growing concerns over his health in a heartfelt post on social media. On June 11, 2025, Sanders—affectionately known as “Coach Prime”—reassured fans via X (formerly Twitter) that he was stable, despite speculation after missing a scheduled speaking engagement.
“I can assure you all that everything is OKAY,” Sanders wrote. The message was brief but carried immense weight, especially coming on the heels of a public video from his son, Deion Sanders Jr., who voiced concern over recurring blood clot complications that have plagued his father for years. In 2021, Sanders underwent multiple surgeries and had two toes amputated due to severe blood circulation issues—a battle that has since resurfaced intermittently.
Sapp, who joined Colorado’s coaching staff under Sanders earlier this year, quickly responded to the post with an emotional comment: “Love You To Death.” The simple yet powerful words underscored the depth of their relationship, one built over decades of mutual respect, camaraderie, and shared time in the NFL spotlight. Both men, known for their fiery competitiveness and larger-than-life personalities, have become a formidable duo on Colorado’s sidelines, aiming to rebuild the Buffaloes into a national powerhouse.
Their bond goes far beyond football. Sapp and Sanders have long supported each other through personal and professional highs and lows. From Pro Bowls and Hall of Fame speeches to health scares and coaching transitions, their friendship has remained a constant—rooted in brotherhood.
Since taking over the Buffaloes program in 2022, Sanders has turned heads for both his success and transparency. He’s never shied away from sharing his health journey with fans and players alike, often using his story as a teaching moment. Sapp, a fierce advocate for mental and physical wellness post-retirement, has been one of his most loyal supporters.
As Sanders continues to navigate his health with optimism and strength, the overwhelming show of support from figures like Sapp reinforces how deeply he’s impacted those around him. For Colorado fans and the college football world at large, Coach Prime’s latest message brings relief, while Sapp’s touching reply reminds everyone of the human side behind the headlines.
