NFL Hall of Famer and University of Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has been invited to visit Mount Rushmore after mistaking the national treasure as "four little heads" in California.
Sanders made the mistake during a midweek press conference while his 4-7 team looks ahead to Saturday's final regular season game against the University of Utah, according to a report.

"My expectations are out of the darn park, you got to understand. C'mon man," Sanders said, discussing his expectations for his team.
"What's those little four heads that are in California?" he continued. "What do they call those? The people's faces engraved?"
If @DeionSanders needs to see Mount Rushmore, we’d love to show him. Bring the whole @CUBuffsFootball team — we have buffalo herds of our own just a short ways away! Bring Ralphie, he’ll love Custer State Park. https://t.co/zlF7U8eGa2

Reporters corrected "Coach Prime" that Mount Rushmore is in South Dakota, and the two-time Super Bowl Champion admitted his mistake.
"It's in where? I thought it was in LA all this time," Sanders said with a laugh. "Wow, my geography. That's the Hollywood thing? That's what I thought. I'm sorry."

"If @DeionSanders needs to see Mount Rushmore, we'd love to show him," Noem tweeted. "Bring the whole @CUBuffsFootball team — we have buffalo herds of our own just a short ways away! Bring Ralphie, he'll love Custer State Park."
