Nick Saban has taken notice of the success Deion Sanders has had at Colorado this season.
Saban said that although he hasn't seen all of Colorado's games this season, he did catch last week's double-overtime victory over Colorado State.
Sanders, a Hall of Fame cornerback in the NFL, has led Colorado to a 3-0 start, including a season-opening victory over national champion runner-up TCU.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders," Saban said Wednesday. "First, he's a great person and he's done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest.
