Deion Sanders explained why he kept his bladder cancer diagnosis a secret from his two young sons, Shilo and Shedeur. "My sons, to this day, don't know what transpired," Deion, 57, said during a Monday, July 28 press conference at the University of Colorado. "I just told them it was something with my foot. I wanted them to focus on making the team and now focused on Dad. They really don't know." Deion's bladder cancer was discovered on April 14, just 10 days before the start of the 2025 NFL Draft. Shedeur, 23, was ultimately selected in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns on April 26.
