Sanders has welcomed Leftwich onto campus before, but this time he was wearing Colorado gear. A significant sign he might be the next move for the Buffaloes. If that's the case, we should expect an announcement sooner than later.
The former Super Bowl-winning OC was spotted in the latest Well Off Media video, holding what appears to be a play sheet during Tuesday's practice. He would play a pivotal role in the development of Kaidon Salter and blue-chip recruit Julian Lewis.

Leftwich spent ten years as a quarterback in the NFL before moving on to coaching. He spent seven years between the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers until 2022. He guided Tom Brady to his final Super Bowl win.

Overall, Leftwich would be an outstanding addition for Coach Prime and Colorado. He would bring a 'fresh set of eyes' to assist with Pat Shurmur's play calling duties. It's likely Leftwich would take on a senior analyst role to break down film and be involved in the offensive game planning.
