How about Deon Figures and Chad Brown. Brown had a pretty good NFL career!

VERRRRRY off-topic, but, anyone know what Joey Johnson is doing these days? One of my all time favorite Buffs.

As did Figures, if I remember correctly Deon recovered an onsides kick in the super bowl when Pittsburgh rally against Dallas fell just short.

Chad Brown for sure. I don't think it's fair to say Lamont Warren was a career backup at CU. he was a helluva back who saw that Salaam was a little better.
Stirckland has had a decent career....managed to get an NFL paycheck for a half-dozen year.

Yes he did and I am a Steelers fan so I should have considered his career "good" as well.
I see Deon Figures and Donald Strickland finally got mentioned.
How 'bout Chris Hudson in that group of DBs too? Also, Bobby Anderson had a pretty good (but brief) career with the Broncos.
Tyler Brayton has also been tearing it up for the Raiders and now the Panthers for the last five years or so.

I didn't see anyone mention Jeff Campbell. He hung around the league for quite a while. Also Koy Detmer was at least a valuable backup for many years.

Didn't see anyone mention Bieniemy. He had a pretty solid career in the NFL.

beware the habu
A name from the very distant past -- Bobby Anderson.
Quite a few years on some very mediocre bronco teams.

Westbrook was a terrible pro. Between injuries and punching out Stephen Davis, the only bigger Buff bust in the NFL would have been Saalam. Might have been mentioned, but Tom Ashworth had a great run and a couple of Super Bowl rings with the Pats.

Did every Buff become a Steeler?

During the 90's, yes.
Kordell, Joel Steed (I think), Chad Brown, Charles Johnson, Deone Figures.
Others?
Hey, didn't Figures get shot in the leg or some such thing in Pitt? I saw him listed a couple of times as a top CU pro, but for as high as he went in the draft, he was a bit of a bust, in my opinion.
Deon Figures got shot in the leg when he was back home in LA during the offseason, if I remember correctly. It effectively ended his career.

I believe you're thinking of Joey Porter. Figures had a decent career, he did start a Super Bowl. He ended up on Jacksonville before flaming out.
No, he's thinking of Deon Figures. Porter got shot in Denver while he was out here to watch the CU/CSU game.
They both got shot, though.

Was going to bring up Barry Helton and his SB rings with the 49ers, but someone else did right after that. He also is a good farmer on Farmville and a neighbor of mine.:thumbsup:
I worked with CJ the WR's dad out in Oakland when I was with UAL. Played bid whist with him at lunch and breaks. I asked him if he now talked with CJ at all or had a realationship with him. He said, 'sure, we have a realtionship now, it's a talking relationship, not a 'hey, here's a new car' relationship'.:lol: Seemed pretty ok with that. Actually, he rode the van into Oakland with me from Vacaville too; depending on who was driving, he would help keep me awake when driving back in the morning (we worked mids).
