Colorado tight end Caleb Fauria announced Monday that he intends to enter the transfer portal, an announcement made notable by two things: 1.) Fauria is one of a relative few holdovers from the Karl Dorrell era to play for Deion Sanders with Buffaloes, and 2.) the graduate transfer is the son of longtime NFL tight end and former Colorado star Christian Fauria. 
“I appreciate my time spent at the University of Colorado and all the memories I have made,” Caleb Fauria wrote on social media, announcing the move.

Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard was inactive for his team’s Black Friday loss to the Dolphins last week, and it’s safe to say it caught the veteran by surprise.
But after speaking with coach Robert Saleh, Lazard said he understood the decision.
“After talking to him, I can see the reasoning for it and everything,” Lazard explained, per the New York Post.
But one element that made the benching sting even worse for Lazard was not being able to play in quarterback Tim Boyle’s team debut.

There was a time when I hated Deion Sanders. To be clear: It wasn’t Deion the man. It was Deion the competitor. Deion the opponent.
After he came into the NFL with the Falcons we went at each other twice a year for five seasons as rivals in the NFC West. I couldn’t sleep the night before when I knew he’d be covering me. If Deion was on the opposite side, you knew it was going down the next day.
