Heart of Buffalo: Jasen Oden working to fulfill NFL dream

Jasen Oden possesses the heart of a Ram; both on and off the football field. And he’s the “Heart of Buffalo.”

Oden, a continuing senior at Colorado State University, played his final college football game with his Rams on Dec. 22, 2015. That Arizona Bowl loss sadly capped off a great run for Oden and his fellow seniors, but the young man is too positive to dwell on the negative.

Oden, who came from the mean streets of Buffalo, New York, is focusing on the present and his near future.

The 22-year old took time out of his busy life – which is spent balancing training for the NFL Combine in New Jersey and traveling to Fort Collins to finish his degree – to speak to me about how life has been since leaving CSU.
