Thirteen Colorado Buffaloes are part of over 200 players participating in the second annual Big 12 football pro day, occurring from Tuesday to Thursday at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy-winning wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter are the main attractions at the event, but it’s improbable that they’ll showcase their skills for almost 300 NFL scouts and personnel. Both Sanders and Hunter were absent from the NFL scouting combine last month. It’s also worth mentioning that Hunter is registered as a wide receiver for the Big 12 pro day.
The Buffs’ exciting pair will be accompanied by 11 additional former CU athletes: defensive end BJ Green II, offensive guard Justin Mayers, defensive tackle Chidozie Nwankwo, wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr., defensive back Travis Jay, safety Shilo Sanders, wide receiver Will Sheppard, defensive back Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig, safety Herman Smith III, wide receiver LaJohntay Wester, and punter Mark Vassett.
The Big 12 pro day will be broadcast by the NFL Network from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. MT scheduled for March 19 and 20.
