Bleacher Report runs a weekly article recapping the 'winners & losers' from the week's slate of college football action. Colorado made the list this week and in the blurb the author noted,
"It's possible Montez will leave after the year, too. I've had conversations with agents who are of the opinion he'll try his luck in the NFL. Of course the team's late struggles could change things for him."
Personally I place low odds on this happening - would not be a smart time for Montez to try out for the NFL; he would stand a better chance of making a roster coming off a better year for CU's offense IMO - but thought I would pass along. The full blurb and article link are below:
"The Colorado Buffaloes continued their downward spiral, as they fell 30-7 at home to Utah. The Buffaloes went 5-0 to start the season but have lost six straight games—all in conference play. It's possible they could lose again next week against Cal and miss bowl season despite their inspiring start.
Their overly conservative offense has continued to stymie the talented duo of quarterback Steven Montez and wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. Though Montez was banged up Saturday, as the Utah defenders produced pressure throughout the game, the season has deteriorated as their commitment to the passing attack has waned. Far too often they've been left with 3rd-and-long situations for Montez to improvise on—to no avail.
It's possible Montez will leave after the year, too. I've had conversations with agents who are of the opinion he'll try his luck in the NFL. Of course the team's late struggles could change things for him.
Something else of note was that Colorado's mascot, Ralphie the Buffalo, did not run for the third time in 11 years, per the Pac-12 broadcast. She couldn't run due to the snow, which was likely a precaution by her handlers. It was a sad afternoon as the local fans missed out on the beloved buffalo and then endured a painful home loss."
