Deion Sanders says he never questioned God during his battle with bladder cancer

Pro Football Hall of Famer Devin Hester is 'not at all' surprised his good friend, Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, is remaining as a coach despite revealing his recent battle with bladder cancer.

Deion Sanders revealed Monday he had his bladder removed after he was diagnosed with cancer, but he said he never questioned God, no matter how difficult things were.

Sanders, 57, said God has blessed him too much to ask, ‘Why me?’

"I have never questioned God. You know my faith, man," Sanders said during an interview with Michael Irvin.

"I never questioned and ask God. ‘Why me?’ I can’t. Why me am I living like this? Why me am I the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes? Why me am I on this wonderful university? Why me do I have these wonderful kids with my last name? Like, why me that God has blessed me so much. Like, I would have to ask God, ‘Why me all that, too?’

"So, I never asked God, ‘Why me?’"

Sanders said he only asked the Lord to show him the way.

"I know for the enemy to try me, you had to say, ‘Have you considered my servant crime?’ You had to say that for him to even get to me. So I know that, I’m yours. I know what you going to do
