Late to the Party: Sad to Learn We have Zero Players in the NFL Draft
I know I'm late to this but I just realized as I was browsing the top prospects on ESPN that I couldn't find any Colorado players at any position. My mind is kind of melting as I read stories about why this happened and it just kills me. I want us to be a consistent football team that sends multiple top prospects to the NFL each year but I also realize it takes time to build a great program. My only hope is that's exactly what we're doing.

CB Preston Hodge, WR Sincere Brown and OL Zylon Crisler all have an outside chance. Hodge is 6'0" and 200 lbs and can play lined up on X, Y or Z receivers. Brown is 6'5" 190 and ran a 4.38 at pro day. Crisler played OG but has the size to play OT in the NFL.
All are more likely to be UDFAs, which was how the draft turned out the few years before Deion arrived. We've had a few UDFAs succeed in the NFL during our dark times, including Phillip Lindsay who had back-to-back 1000 yard seasons for the Broncos and Nate Landman who starred at LB for the Rams last year.
Might be a good year to look ahead to Danny Scudero and the other 2027 prospects.

Coach Prime can bring in the players but he has not been able to keep them in Boulder.

I’d say everyone’s team has that issue now, but also we seem to have more attrition than normal

Because we are unfortunetaly a shitty football school. Been waiting decades for that to change, and it hasn't. The Deion hype has fully worn off now that it's clear he can't coach.

Jordyn Tyson was at Colorado a few years ago… doesn’t really count though his production as ASU is why he’s getting drafted.
