Deion Sanders went on to explain how he's always loved ironing his clothes and shoe strings. According to him, it's like "therapy," as it brings him peace and calms his mind.

"I don't know if this is a Florida thing or old school thing, but back in the day, we iron," Sanders said (5:50). "And I've never been able to break away from ironing. Yeah, I send stuff to get cleaned all the time. But all my day stuff, what I wear to practice, I iron.

Apart from the offseason preparations, Coach Prime also dealt with health issues, as he fought off bladder cancer over the past few weeks. He revealed his cancer battle last month in a press conference while talking about the surgery he had to remove a tumor-ridden bladder. However, Sanders is now cancer-free as he continues recovering.
