- Sanders' real reason for coming to Tallahassee, however, was to interview Jalen Ramsey for NFL Network ahead of next month's NFL Draft, where Ramsey seems poised to be a top-five pick. Prime Time's visit resulted in this incredible picture from Jimbo Fisher's office view of the stadium.

- Suffice it to say, I think Florida State left a good impression on Sanders.
