The Florida boys pose together for an iconic selfie that has made the fans crazy! Deion Sanders and Warren Sapp were one of the most iconic defensive players in the NFL during that era and now are at an age where both of them stand together as Hall of Famers. Now, the ‘Quarterback Killer’ and ‘Prime Time’ were seen posing together for a photo on the HoF weekend, which seems to have struck a nostalgic chord for the die-hard football fans.
Deion Sanders brought Warren Sapp to the Colorado Buffaloes this year as a graduate assistant. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star player has joined Colorado and will provide excellent insights into the team’s defensive line, which was disastrous during the 2023 season. Plus, Deion and Warren share an excellent friendship, which is one of the probable reasons behind his hiring, but could also prove to be the valuable addition to the coaching staff that the Buffs needed. As for now, they’re both all smiles in their Hall of Fame attires as Deion leaves a heartwarming message for his longtime buddy.

The fans shower the two Hall of Famers with love and respect
Though both Deion and Sapp have dipped their feet into the pool of college football, old-timer fans remember them as two of the most feared defensive tackles from their time. What Deion did at the Atlanta Falcons, Sapp did with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Life does come full circle as both of them now plan to rejuvenate the dry Buffaloes’ team and bring them to a level of success that both the legends witnessed during their careers. The union of this power duo has made the fans excited about their time in Boulder this year and their words echoed these feelings.

He said, “A lot of motivation and greatness in this photo 2 of the game’s biggest competitors and not many could bring the chatter and walk that walk like these legends of the game 🔥🔥💯 #MRTakeItToTheHouse #QBKilla”

His comment read, “Coach Prime made them moves for you big dogg. waiting to see yall shine this season. Spell UNDEFEATED in blood. Cant nobody rock wit you.”
Thus, Sapp and Deion could very well turn Colorado into an elite program that segregates itself very well from the poor 4-8 record that they had last year, and also, dishing it back to all the Colorado haters.
