CU players in the NFL

This could go in the "Prime Effect" thread. I'm not in Colorado today and tuned to ESPN radio while driving. For the show I caught, the CU pro day was the topic for an entire segment. That's insane for a team that went 9-4, didn't make the playoffs and only has 2 guys who are priority draft picks. Love it!
ESPN had live reporters at the pro day as the lead story and theme of the NFL Today show. Interviews with Prime and Shedeur and I think with Travis although I didn't watch all of it.
It was almost a commercial for CU football.
It is true that they only have 2 priority draft picks but those 2 may end up going in the first 3 so that is newsworthy.
After this commercial break, Shedeur’s pro day/draft status is the next Sports Center segment.

They already drafted Willis, didn't they learn their lesson?

Decent article in the Denver Post today about the attention Will Sheppard is receiving after Pro Day.

Broncos need a late-round WR? Three sleepers lie up Route 36 at CU
The roar came immediately, a rising chatter reverberating throughout CU’s weight room Friday, as Will Sheppard’s hand slapped dangerously close to the top of a vertical test-stick.

Here is an article from a NY Giants fan site about Sheppard:

Not surprised. He had to show he was fast enough, but I was certain his catch radius athleticism was going to be pretty elite.Decent article in the Denver Post today about the attention Will Sheppard is receiving after Pro Day.

His vertical jump and broad jump would have been top 3 and 4 of WRs in the NFL Combine. I think the guy made him some money during this Pro Day.

He’s high level
Honestly, I would LOVE if he ended up in New Orleans with Kellen Moore as his mentor.
Info coming out saying Derek Carr has a shoulder injury and his ‘25 season is in jeopardy
I don’t know if this true or not, but seeing some buzz that the 9ers have been quietly kicking Shedeur’s tires. Skeletor Jr. would be a pretty nice cube coach for Shedeur…
I still don't think he gets past the Raiders at 6, so someone is going to need to trade up ahead of that pick. 49ers and Steelers would make the most sense, imo.
Be still my heart
Shedeur with McVay or Shanahan are the two ideal situations with Kellen Moore and the Saints a close third, IMO. I actually like Stefanski a lot and the story of Shedeur bringing back the Browns franchise would be fun, plus they have a roster that I think gives him more support than most people think.
Personally, I think NYG is the worst case scenario. Going into a toxic QB room with Russ and Jameis, a really, really bad overall roster, a GM who doesn't know his ass from his elbow, and a HC who was promoted because of his work as OC in Buffalo and wasn't able to elevate Daniel Jones at all.
Wild card is Pitt. I'd like to say that's also an ideal situation due to the roster quality but Tomlin hasn't shown an ability to develop QBs and having Arthur Smith as OC is an even bigger turn off.

Everything I've been hearing is the Giants are putting the full court press on Shedeur. They are having another private workout with him tomorrow and are sending 13 staff members to it.

Makes sense if Sheppard is to go to the NYG since they could be drafting SS2.
Horn did run a 4.35-4.38 at CU's Pro Day. He probably gets drafted.
I think the Raiders feel like Geno is their answer. TBH, if he gets in the 7-9 range, I could see the 9ers make a move without losing too much.
Ugh I definitely would have an easier time rooting for him with the Saints than LV or SF!
Bradshaw and Roethlisberger is pretty high up for franchise QBs among NFL franchises and their histories. Not many can top that.
Great ownership leads to a very stable situation where players and coaches can thrive. A Big Ben type career would be great for Shedeur. A couple of rings, some pro bowl selections, retire wealthy. Not a bad deal.
F The Steelers!
