The former Jackson State head coach is no stranger to the spotlight after amazing playing careers in the collegiate, MLB and NFL ranks. The Hall of Famer is now making headlines for different reasons, however, as it's been reported by ESPN analyst Pat McAffee that Sanders will undergo emergency surgery on Friday, June 23, for a blood clot in his groin.
