While much of the focus at Colorado’s Pro Day was on projected first round pick Isaiah Oliver and hometown hero Phillip Lindsay, two players from Division II Colorado Mesa University also made their mark at the annual showcase.
One of the small school’s standouts was 2017 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Year and defensive end sensation Blake Nelson. In his senior year at Mesa, Nelson recorded 81 tackles, including seven sacks and 12.5 tackles for a loss.
He also had a team-high 107 tackles, while earning all first team RMAC honors in 2016.
