“So coming here not just to win games on the field, but to win the game off the field, which is to make sure that these young men in life become what they want to become outside of football," Faulk said on Tuesday. "They become the father that they want to be, the brother, the husband. Making sure that they do that, that’s the important part. That was attractive.”

According to Faulk in a recent interview, he and Sanders go way back to their time in the media. Therefore, linking up again to impact young football players is just a continuation of an existing relationship.

“We’ve been friends for many years," Faulk said (per On3). "We worked together in television. We always talk just about the game and probably more about kids coming up in the game. How do you affect and make sure they come into the game the right way? He’s one of those way makers.

"When you pay attention to kids that’s gonna leave this program and go to the next level, they’re gonna do it in a certain way and you’re gonna say, 'Wow, they were coached by a guy who understands how to get it done.' I identify with that.”

The Colorado Buffaloes will play their season opener later this month against Georgia Tech.
