{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders returned to campus for the first time following a recent medical procedure.
Late last month, the Pro Football Hall of Famer had surgery to repair blood clots in his legs. The team returned for offseason conditioning, and Sanders made an appearance.
