CU players in the NFL

Vassett drafted by the Calgary Stampeders
CFL teams only get a certain number of slots for American players. For each game they have 45 active including 3 QBs. Of those at least 21 must be Canadians. Included in this number may be one nationalized American citizen origionally from Canada and a maximum of 19 Americans. They must also have one "global" player.
The draft was 2 rounds with 10 picks per round. Of the players picked 11 were punters or kickers.
Also drafted was Valentin Senn who origionally signed with Colorado before transfering to UConn. He is originally from Austria.
What happened to him I forgot?
Doesn't look like any details have been made public yet.

I miss Mustafa. Wish he’d played for better CU teams
If you are going to be in the CFL Monteal is a much better city to be in than most in the league.
Outside of Vancouver (BC Lions) the entire West Division is mostly prairie cities that have little appeal. Edmonton is a bit better than the others but still not great. Toronto in the East Division would be a good city to be in but Montreal is a very diverse place and a good experience. The other eastern cities are better than the prairie cities but not great.
Personal impressions from visits to relatives I have in each.
Will never forget the BS block at the ASU game that ruined his season. My ASU friend actually apologized to me.

Listening to sports radio in Charlotte and they're raving about Jimmy Horn! They said they expect him to make the team as a return man and to see the field sparingly as a slot guy. Wale called him the next Steve Smith.
Steve Smith is some hyperbole, but that is exciting newsListening to sports radio in Charlotte and they're raving about Jimmy Horn! They said they expect him to make the team as a return man and to see the field sparingly as a slot guy. Wale called him the next Steve Smith.
Hopefully Horn can go deep just like Steve Smith
Pretty high praise, but hopefully, he can live up to it a bit in some regard.Listening to sports radio in Charlotte and they're raving about Jimmy Horn! They said they expect him to make the team as a return man and to see the field sparingly as a slot guy. Wale called him the next Steve Smith.

Maybe the same thing you heard, but I heard something similar Monday morning on WFNZ after rookie mini camp, they were impressed with his speed
I can't wait to see how many ridiculous plays he will make next year.
Don't care if it's OTAs, don't care if they aren't in pads. The number of corners in existence including those who are now retired who could make that play could be counted on one person's fingers with some left over, just deflecting that pass is a demonstration of ridiculous athletic ability. Actually picking it off after deflecting it is other level all together.
I’m guessing it will be early season when opposing QBs and OCs are thinking they will show this rookie a thing or two about the nfl
And quickly regret it.
Just off my head I can remember at least 3 INTs at CU that would have been pick 6's in the NFL. Travis extended to pick off the ball and landed on the ground in the process. On those three plays he wasn't touched by an opponent and under NFL rules would have popped up and had a clear path to the end zone, and we all know that one he is out front he isn't getting caught.
Pick six bitch!
Jimmy Horn mic'd up, just go to Panthers Twitter and it's one of the newer posts
Was just thinking the coaches have limited time with the team. The fact that he is getting that kind of attention means that they look at him as somebody who is in their plans.

Yep, especially from the Head Coach. Harbaugh was known as an elite Special Teams Coordinator before moving on to his present position as a SB ring-wearing Head Coach.
They can’t fine me they don’t be understanding what I’m saying
