The NFL released its official list of Scouting Combine invitees, and Colorado Buffaloes fans may be left wondering why only four CU players received invitations

A respected analyst believes Colorado standouts Will Sheppard and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig were snubbed from the NFL scouting combine

Four Colorado Buffaloes have been invited to the NFL scouting combine. Former Buffs stars Jimmy Horn Jr., Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders and LaJohntay Wester have received invites to the combine, which will take place Feb. 24 through March 3 in Indianapolis.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is moving on to the NFL, so the team will rely on a new quarterback. The projected starter under center in 2025 is redshirt senior Kaidon Salter, who transferred to Colorado from Liberty. Safety Shilo Sanders is considered a late-round draft prospect.

On Sunday, Jan. 12, one day before the news broke that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talked with Colorado coach Deion Sanders regarding the Cowboys’ then-open head coaching job, a Buffaloes supporter fired off an email with the title “Whatever it takes to KEEP Coach Prime!”
