CU and Colorado State are holding their pro days today, and for most of the former players participating, it will be their last opportunity to give scouts an up-close look of whether they have what it takes to get a shot at the NFL. Denver Post reporters Nicki Jhabvala (CU) and Nick Kosmider (CU, CSU) will be at the area pro days today covering the biggest stories, including Phillip Lindsay, Isaiah Oliver and Nick Stevens.
Here is a full breakdown of participants at CU’s pro day (2 p.m., Boulder): Michael Adkins, RB; Bryce Bobo, WR; Tim Coleman, DE/OLB; Shay Fields, WR; George Frazier, TE/FB/DE; Austin Freer, OL (Colorado Mesa); Diego Gonzalez, PK; Tanner Grzesiek, RB; Jeromy Irwin, OT; Leo Jackson, DE; Gerrad Kough, OG; Afolabi Laguda, S; Phillip Lindsay, RB; Derek McCartney, OLB; Ryan Moeller, S; Isaiah Oliver, CB; Devin Ross, WR.
In addition, Broncos general manager John Elway, coach Vance Joseph and senior advisor Gary Kubiak, among other Denver NFL staffers, will be watching in Boulder.

CSU has not announced what NFL teams will have scouts in attendance, but with the Rams having their event in the morning and the Buffs in the afternoon, some of the same scouts often attend both.
