Thirteen Colorado football players headed to Big 12 pro day

[ASFN Admin]

Thirteen Colorado Buffaloes are among the 200-plus players set to take part in the second annual Big 12 football pro day, which runs Tuesday through Thursday inside the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy-winning wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter headline the event, although it's unlikely they'll put their talents on display for nearly 300 NFL scouts and personnel. Neither Sanders nor Hunter participated in the NFL scouting combine last month. Also of note, Hunter is listed as a wide receiver for the Big 12 pro day.

The Buffs' dynamic duo will be joined by 11 other former CU players: 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 NFL Network will televise the Big 12 pro day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. MT on both March 19 and 20.
