Warren Sapp reveals new role on Deion Sanders' staff at Colorado

Sapp’s promotion marks a continued commitment by Coach Prime to bring in elite football minds to develop the Buffaloes’ talent. The former Super Bowl champion and NFL Defensive Player of the Year brings a wealth of experience in getting after quarterbacks, something Colorado struggled with last season.

Interestingly, Sapp also revealed that he originally sought a coaching role at his alma mater, Miami, but was turned away due to the program’s demanding expectations.

"I asked for the same job that Deion gave me, senior quality control analyst," Sapp explained. "I asked for the same job at the University of Miami a little bit before I went to Colorado. Right before Jason Taylor showed up." However, the workload Miami required was excessive. "A certain person told me he wanted his analyst to work 20 hours a day," he said. "So I need to sleep and at least a meal. I get more than four hours of sleep."

With Sapp, Marshall Faulk, and Domata Peko now on staff, Colorado continues to build one of the most star-studded coaching staffs in college football, positioning the Buffaloes for a major step forward in 2025.
