美联社科罗拉多州博尔德电 —— 迪昂·桑德斯（Deion Sanders）很感激那些“最近怎么样？”的问候。在他经历健康恐慌后，这些看似平常的寒暄更让他感触良多。

科罗拉多队教练周五在学校媒体日表示："我身体健康，精力充沛，感觉回到了从前的状态。"

桑德斯在因膀胱癌接受治疗后，近期重返球队便立即投入工作。在8月29日对阵佐治亚理工学院的赛季揭幕战前，球队仍需完成大量准备工作，届时福尔瑟姆体育场的门票已全部售罄。

当务之急是解决四分卫人选问题，备受瞩目的新生朱利安·"朱朱"·刘易斯与利伯蒂大学转学生凯登·索尔特正竞争接替谢德尔·桑德斯的位置。

这是迪昂·桑德斯（Deion Sanders）时隔许久首次执教一支没有儿子担任四分卫的球队。谢杜尔·桑德斯（Shedeur Sanders）现已加盟克利夫兰，并将以首发四分卫身份出战布朗队对阵卡罗莱纳黑豹队的季前赛揭幕战。

无论谁赢得首发位置，进攻风格都将截然不同——而迪昂·桑德斯对此并无异议。

桑德斯（参考《新华社人名翻译规范》）表示："我们的胜利方式会与众不同，但胜利终将属于我们。"他的球队在上赛季取得9胜4负的战绩，并获得了阿拉莫碗的参赛资格。"虽然不确定是否需要比赛末段的绝望长传（Hail Marys），但比赛过程一定会激烈异常。因为我们渴望被看见，我们要把橄榄球跑出极致。所以风格会有些特别，但绝对充满乐趣。"

对桑德斯而言，挑选四分卫并不急于一时。他满足于循序渐进地评估每次训练，同时资深NFL四分卫拜伦·莱夫托维奇也在协助球员训练。

“精英终将脱颖而出，”桑德斯周五将一名患白血病的高中生签约为球队荣誉成员后表示，“我们并不急于指定这个或那个。这两名球员都很出色，我认为无论派谁上场，我们都能打得很好。”

谈及健康状况，桑德斯表示自己每天训练后都会在校园内步行至少一英里。本周六将满58岁的桑德斯，此前因个人原因缺席了球队夏季的训练活动。

上个月，他透露自己被诊断出患有侵袭性膀胱癌。但手术后，他的肿瘤科医生认为他已痊愈。

桑德斯表示："我现在非常享受生活。"他过去因健康问题登上头条，主要集中在被截肢的两根脚趾和血栓问题上。"考虑到发生的一切，我正尽力活出最充实的人生。"

教练的决心激励了左截锋乔丹·西顿。

“我当时想的是，‘好吧，我的健康状况可能会让我因此丧命，但我要战胜它，回到你们身边，’”西顿（Seaton）说道。“他是我认识的最无私的人。所以对我来说，就是接受现实，在球场上全力以赴，并将这份善意传递下去。”

桑德斯在加入布法罗队的第三个年头领悟到：要相信自己的直觉。

桑德斯表示："第一年，我站在场边时会有所感应，但我没有跟随直觉行动。到了第二年，我开始听从直觉的指引，而现在我更要进一步追随直觉行事。"

但我觉得我们的员工队伍一年比一年更出色，阵容也一年比一年更强大。

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Deion Sanders appreciates the how are you doing? questions. The small talk hits home even more after his health scare.

Im healthy, Im vibrant, the Colorado coach said Friday at the schools media day. Im my old self.

Sanders has hit the ground running since recently returning to the team after treatment for bladder cancer . Theres a lot of work to be done before the season opener on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech at sold-out Folsom Field.

At the top of the list is settling the quarterback situation, where highly touted freshman Julian JuJu Lewis and Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter are contending to take over for Shedeur Sanders.

Its the first time in a while that Deion Sanders will coach a team without his son at QB. Shedeur Sanders is now in Cleveland and will start the Browns preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers.

No matter who wins the starting job, it will be a completely different style of offense and thats OK with Deion Sanders.

Were going to win differently, but were going to win, said Sanders, whose team went 9-4 last season and earned a spot in the Alamo Bowl. I dont know if its going to be the Hail Marys at the end of the game, but its going to be hell during the game. Because we want to be visible. We want to run the heck out of the football. So its going to be a little different, but its going to be fun.

For Sanders, theres no particular time crunch to pick a QB. Hes content evaluating one practice at a time as longtime NFL quarterback Byron Leftwich works with them.

Cream of the crop will rise, said Sanders, who signed a high school student with leukemia as an honorary member of the team Friday. Its not urgency that weve got to name this or name that. Both these guys can play. I think we can play well with either one of them.

As for his health, Sanders said hes walking at least a mile around campus every day after practice. Sanders, who turns 58 on Saturday, was away from the team over the summer for personal reasons.

Last month, he disclosed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer. But after surgery his oncologist considered him cured.

Im loving life right now, said Sanders, whos drawn headlines for his health in the past, but with the focus largely on two toes hes had amputated and concerns over blood clots. Im trying my best to live it to the fullest, considering what transpired.

His coachs determination inspired left tackle Jordan Seaton.

Its like, OK, my health, I can possibly die from this but Im going to fight this to get back to you all, Seaton said. Hes the most selfless person I know. So for me, its just take it and do what I can on the field and pay it forward.

One thing Sanders has learned heading into his third year with the Buffaloes is to trust his instincts.

Year one, I would be on the sideline and I would feel something, and I didnt go with my instincts, Sanders said. Year two, I went with my instincts, and now Im going to even go more with with my instincts.

But I feel like our staff gets better and better and better every year. I feel like the roster gets better and better and better every year.
