Browns' Shedeur Sanders reveals advice father Deion Sanders gave him amid cancer battle

Danny Parkins reacts to Deion Sanders sharing on The Michael Irvin Podcast that Shedeur told him not to visit Cleveland Browns training camp amid the ongoing QB1 battle.

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders revealed that he dealt with bladder cancer this spring, resulting in a surgery during which his bladder was removed. 

As "Coach Prime" went through this health scare, his son Shedeur Sanders was preparing for his first year in the NFL. 

Shedeur, a fifth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in April, spoke with reporters on Monday at training camp, and he revealed what his father’s message was to him during this tough time for the family.

Deion Sanders announced his health scare, which had been speculated about for months by football fans, on July 28 alongside Buffaloes doctors.
