Deion Sanders is fortifying the Colorado Buffaloes on both offense and defense with the addition of a retired NFL defensive tackle and a former offensive tackle teammate to his 2024 coaching staff. He’s making good on his promise to Warren Sapp, a seasoned NFL veteran known for his disruptive play on the field, to bring him to Colorado.

Coach Prime recognized Sapp’s potential to contribute to his coaching staff from the outset. While the exact timeline wasn’t specified, Sapp, in an earlier interview with DNVR Sports, hinted at his arrival in Boulder in March. Now that he’s here, his admiration for Deion Sanders is evident. The enthusiasm he’s instilled in the Buffs is a key factor in the team’s anticipated high-energy post-break.

Warren Sapp’s addition isn’t the only thing hyping the Buffs meeting.

He’ll serve as the Buffs’ new director of leadership and engagement. His introductory speech is inspiring as he hyped Shedeur Sanders and Co. with a powerful message emphasizing that “everything impacts everything.” It looks like the Buffs will be well-polished all around as the second half of their spring training commences.
