The Colorado Buffaloes welcomed another Hall-of-Famer to campus on Sunday. One of the best big-time defensive players known as 'QBK', or otherwise Warren Sapp, made a special visit to see Deion Sanders.

The NFL Hall-of-Famer, who made his name with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Raiders to end his career in 2007, was part of the NFL Network's coverage lineup with Sanders. Sapp's appearance comes as no surprise. He told Rich Eisen last December that he was interested in being part of Coach Prime's staff at Colorado. 

There was a lot of speculation if Sapp and Terrell Owens would be joining Sanders at Jackson State. However, neither did, and it was all rumors. The famed former receiver was also one of Prime's guests in the lead up to the 2023 season at CU.   

Sapp took in all the beauty of Boulder courtesy of the Buffs' best tour guide. Both were first ballot Hall-of-Famers with Sanders being inducted in 2011, which was two years before Sapp was honored. Coach Prime spoke out about the need for an "upper room" in Canton, and I'm sure Sapp would be joining him.  

Colorado is less than a week away from opening the season with 17th-ranked TCU. There are three practices left on the books in Boulder before heading to Fort Worth on Sept. 2.
