Deion Sanders hired another former NFL great, Warren Sapp, to serve as a graduate assistant coach on his coaching staff this season.

And the NFL Hall of Famer and seven-time Pro Bowler is loving every second of it.

"For someone that never wanted to do this, I am really addicted to it right now," he told reporters Tuesday. "The babies are really giving me a purpose in life, and I'm enjoying it."

He added that a visit to Colorado last season really helped crystalize a desire to coach, as Buffaloes players reached out to him for advice.
