“I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so. God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me“
Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! 🙏🏾

Coach Prime’s son Deion Jr. said on a live stream that his father was home at the family estate in Canyon, Texas, and “feeling well.” No specific date was given for the coach’s return.
On a recent podcast with Asante Samuel, Deion did mention that he lost 14 pounds and what he is “dealing with right now is at whole other level.”
