Deion Sanders is feeling somewhat better after a health scare, and is taking the time before football season to spend with family. Now as sons Shedeur and Shilo are off to NFL training camp, he is having dad-daughter time with their sister Shelomi.

The 57-year-old NFL Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes coach has faced health problems before with blood clots that cost him two toes on his left foot. He recently received a visit from Jacksonville Jaguars rookie and Colorado Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter where to two went fishing, and posted a positive health update walking with Shilo, and also with his new workout partner Shelomi.

After attending Big 12 Media Day earlier in July, Deion recently said he’s not out of the woods yet with his health issues, though. He’s taking the time before the season to chill and recover at his ridiculous 5000-acre Texas ranch with its own gas station that has plenty of fishing as Hunter showed. He went fishing again with Shelomi and shared some adorable pictures with his daughter.
