Two years ago, the Colorado football team had to replace its all-time leading receiver, Nelson Spruce, and the Buffaloes actually got better at the position.
This year, the Buffs have to replace three of the top eight receivers in program history, and once again they may actually get better.
Although Shay Fields, Bryce Bobo and Devin Ross — who combined for 480 catches for 5,811 yards and 40 touchdowns in their careers — are now training for a shot in the NFL, there is a great deal of excitement about what the Buffs have coming back at receiver as they open spring practices on Friday.
