In a touching tribute to his late friend L.A.F, Sanders Jr. shared a series of pictures from L.A.F.'s Instagram account, "lafmoneyteam," one of which was originally posted in April 2019.

Deion Sanders Jr.’s father Coach Prime's journey through health struggles

Six months after battling serious health complications, Deion Sanders celebrated a milestone in his recovery from blood clots. Deion Sanders Jr. posted a video on Instagram last month where Sanders was jogging.

"This is the first time I've jogged," Sanders said. "I reflect on all the turbulent times. Eleven surgeries. Multiple hospitals. God is so good."

Coach Prime acknowledged the "turbulent times" with 11 surgeries and multiple hospital stays. The video also shows scars on his legs, a reminder of his 21 stitches in each groin.
