I feel as though the two on the right should have been the focus of this precious moment.

Signed to CU '24 TNFR DT Chidozie Nwankwo
- Thread starter WasianCU
- Start date
May get pushback, but his pro comp is Aaron Donald. Shorter, super strong, lower bf %.
I said it above, but I see more Kelly Gregg
The SKO intensifies…
Gregg’s playing bf % was way higher.
Reference was to playing styles, not build.
Dudes like that are hard as hell to block, leverage and pad level are a real thing.

Kept looking for where the Block Bully was in an NFL camp? This answered some of it. Maybe he is injured or something else is going on. Otherwise, I'm surprised that he is not getting a look...

FYI--he is not in the transfer portal, although On3 showed him there. That would be his walk-on brother. Article below clears that up.

Yeah, I’m not saying speed is that big of a deal for an IDL but he almost ran a 6.0 40. At some point he’s just not athletic enough to play in the league. If you’re going to be undersized, you have to be able to move.
Does anyone know if he got a camp invite?
So far, he has not

No invite much less an invite to the CFL. Which is crazy because he's one of our most productive players. He just tested so poorly. Reminds me of Aqeel Glass. Beast in the SWAC and should have been drafted ability wise but he tested so poorly. It's insane. He made Tom Brady look like Michael Vick. He did get invited to play with Tampa and Brady and ended up playing pro ball in Germany. I still think teams are sleeping on Chidozie. He's a much better DT than most of the late round NTs taken.

Those are all good insight from the comments above. I thought he would get a shot since he seemed to be a hard worker and gamer. Could be lack of talent, but also maybe he just does not fit well position-ally on an NFL DLine. Perhaps, a tweener at positions without the ability to truly excel at either. It is a huge jump from college to grown men in the NFL.
It's crazy that at the same time he can't get a contract there will be multiple guys in camps, and getting cut because they can't play, who did nothing outstanding in college but measured >6'2", >320lbs and ran a 5.4.
Teams have space for 90 players on their opening training camp rosters, you would think that somebody might have seen his film and thought maybe the guy can contribute to us.

Exactly, rookie mini camp have Basketball players who never Football before and guys from cross sports like Rugby. We aren't talking about getting drafted. We are talking about rookie mini camp. Mayers got two invites he's going to. He wasn't even in the rotation much on a terrible OL.
Some YT AI account posted that he is returning to CU after not getting any NFL offers. Assuming this is clickbait, only, but I recall there was some issue about his father claiming he had an extra year of eligibility. I thought we counted it and determined he was definitely done.
Can’t imagine it’s true, but it would be awesome for both CU and this big, big (but apparently not tall enough?) dude.
