Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame himself, and it sounds like he’s bringing another Hall of Famer onto the coaching staff for next season.

During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Deion Sanders announced that the team was hiring Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp to the team’s coaching staff. And it sounds like Sanders expects Sapp to be well-received by the players.

“But he is unbelievable. The kids love him. Oh my God, they love him,” Sanders said according to On3. “When they just see him, when the D-linemen see him they light up like a Christmas tree. And one of the most beautiful sights I’ve seen is first, after practice one day, he just came here to kick it and came here to see me, and he was in the hot tub because his body’s still banged up as well. At first it was one guy. Looked down there 30 minutes later you’ve got the whole defensive line in the hot tub and he’s holding court.

“You know how he’s animated like John Madden, he’s doing all these antics, and he has captivated all their attention and they’re hanging onto every word. He has so much to give, man. I can’t wait. I can’t wait to see him on a daily basis.”

It’s pretty big news that Sanders is hiring Sapp to his coaching staff, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.

We’ll have to see how Sapp performs at Colorado.
