Deion Sanders worried he ‘might not be here' during scary health battle
In a video posted to his Instagram account Sunday night that was dated May 9 of this year at 6:18 a.m., the Pro Football Hall of Famer and Colorado head coach revealed that he prepared a last will and testament.
'I don't know if I'm ready mentally, emotionally,' Sanders said in the video. 'Last night was tough, yesterday was tough because I had to make a will. That's not easy at all, to think that you might not be here.'

'He asked to see that my phones were in airplane mode at this point. He demanded that me show him. Which I did in front of him.'
