Help appears to be on the way for Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Deion Sanders, as there will now be two Pro Football Hall of Famers on the staff in Boulder. 

On his weekly radio show before his Buffaloes play their final game of the season, Sanders was asked about former NFL star Warren Sapp joining the coaching staff.

"I’m excited about Coach Sapp. He’s a dear friend and I love to life. He’s going to be invaluable to what he brings to the table. The kids are going to love him. As far as the recruits as well. They’re going to love him," Sanders said "The Colorado Football Coaches Show" when asked about Sapp.

Colorado has not announced Sapp’s addition, but he has been around the team in an unofficial capacity this season.

Sapp appeared to confirm the news when he responded to a video on X of Sanders discussing his arrival. 

"Reinforcement is On The Way!!" Sapp posted. 

Sapp was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013 after 13 seasons in the NFL, seven of which resulted in Pro Bowl selections. 

He finished his career with 96.5 sacks and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
