The Colorado Buffaloes have been off to a hot start, largely due to the play of some seniors. These Seniors have NFL draft hopes and need to keep their play up. Who are they and where do they currently stand?

The Colorado Buffaloes have over twenty seniors and are a very experienced team. Not every senior has a high chance to get drafted or even signed as an undrafted free agent. They do have a few though on both sides of the ball.

They also have a few juniors who could potentially come out and get looks from NFL teams. For now though, only the seniors will be getting looked at. Juniors are just hard to look at this point and can end up as a waste of time if they return.

It won’t be easy for some of these Seniors as their best hope comes from trying to make it is as a late round or undrafted player. Nowadays, that doesn’t mean they won’t make it. These players tend to have a chip on their shoulder. So, some of these Colorado Buffaloes seniors have a hard long road ahead of them, even after the season is over.

With a couple of the Buffaloes seniors, there is a lot of hype around them already from NFL scouts. Hype is always a good thing, but they have to play to the hype. Sometimes players, especially in college, get arrogant once they start hearing whats being said of them. Hopefully the seniors for the Colorado Buffaloes can stay level-headed.
