There are no NFL superstars representing the University of Colorado. David Bakhtiari is an All-Pro and Phillip Lindsay is a Pro Bowler, but there’s no one in the NFL known by the country’s casual fans. Laviska Shenault Jr. could be that, possibly. He’s an elite athlete with sure hands and after-the-catch ability. He plays the NFL’s second most visible position. If things go right, he’s going to be drafted in the first round and placed in a position to succeed.
Whoever drafts Shenault is going to invest in him, but there’s a massive difference between him going to the New York Jets or the Baltimore Ravens.
