BOULDER, Colo. — Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp never figured he'd get into coaching. But that changed when he visited Deion Sanders a year ago after Coach Prime had been hired at the University of Colorado. Sapp is serving as a graduate assistant and helping with the defensive line this season under Sanders. Sapp said he enjoys connecting with Gen Z players and working alongside another former Miami Hurricanes star in Damione Lewis.
