On Wednesday afternoon, 40 former collegiate football players from the Rocky Mountain region, including eight former Colorado Buffaloes, performed for coaches, scouts and John Elway alike at the annual Denver Broncos Pro Day, held at the team’s UCHealth Training Center in Englewood.
Former CU linebacker Rick Gamboa was among those who made an appearance, joining past Colorado teammate Drew Lewis and three other backers from Colorado State and CSU Pueblo.
Gamboa finished his career at Colorado after the 2018 season and recorded 388 tackles, good for fifth all-time in Buffaloes program history.
For Gamboa, whose college days are now formally behind him, his eyes are on the prize of making an NFL roster this summer.
