A year from now, could be putting his name atop the Colorado record book in just about every major passing category.
During the next few weeks, however, Montez has to decide if he wants to chase records — and a bowl game appearance — or his dream of playing in the National Football League.
Following Colorado’s 33-21 loss to California in the season finale on Saturday in Berkeley, Calif., the talented junior quarterback said he’s not sure what he’ll decide to do next season.
“That’s a decision I’m going to have to have with my family and, to be honest, I don’t think right now is the time to make the decision,” he said after an emotional night when the Buffaloes (5-7, 2-7 Pac-12) lost for the seventh straight week to finish out of contention for a bowl berth. “I think that’s going to come later on. We’ll see what happens.”
At 6 feet, 5 inches and 230 pounds, Montez has the ideal size, athleticism and arm strength to play in the NFL. He also proved many times — especially on Saturday — that he’s got some developmental work to do to play at an elite level.
