"I was fighting" last year at this time, Sanders recalled. "I was walking out on the property with a bag of blood and also urine and trying to get back. But this expedited the process. Last year at this time, I was in a whole different place, and I'm just thankful."
During a routine checkup last spring, doctors found a mass on Sanders' bladder. He was later referred to the University of Colorado Anschutz, where he met Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of urologic oncology at the CU Cancer Center and UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital.
Sanders is entering his fourth season at Colorado where he owns a 16-21 record after disappointing 2025 season where the team finished at 3-9.
