Colorado Buffaloes’ Jordan Seaton Shines as NFL Draft Contender
The Colorado Buffaloes’ sophomore left tackle, Jordan Seaton, has emerged as a strong candidate for a future NFL Draft pick, showcasing his skills during fall camp. While regulations currently prevent sophomores from entering the draft, Seaton’s impressive performance on the field has captured attention. A recent practice clip shared by Thee Pregame Show demonstrated Seaton’s abilities as he successfully blocked defensive end Samuel Okunlola during a 1-on-1 drill, even managing to take him off his feet in one instance.
Tensions ran high during practice as Seaton and Okunlola were involved in a scuffle, indicating both players are ready to channel their competitive spirit against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on September 1.
Seaton’s Path to NFL Stardom
Seaton’s physicality and talent are undeniable, making him a player to watch this upcoming season. He stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs 330 pounds, having benefited significantly from the summer training program led by strength and conditioning coach Andreu Swasey. Seaton expressed his enthusiasm for the progress he has made, stating, “It has upped my game a lot from not being tired, from waking up feeling good… I’m feeling amazing.” His commitment to conditioning and team morale positions him as an influential player on and off the field.
If Seaton continues to meet expectations throughout this season and the next, he could become the first offensive lineman drafted from Colorado since Will Sherman joined the New England Patriots in 2021.
Coaching and Development
During a recent media day, head coach Deion Sanders praised Seaton’s development since joining the program. Sanders noted, “Jordan was a dawg when we got him out of high school, we just had to perfect him a little bit.” With a coaching team that includes Andre Gurode, Gunnar White, and George Hegamin, Seaton has been molded into a more refined player. Sanders emphasized that Seaton’s time spent with last year’s veterans has instilled professionalism and maturity in his approach to the game.
As Seaton prepares to protect the blind side of either Kaidon Salter or Julian Lewis in the season opener, anticipation is building for the Buffaloes’ first game, scheduled to kick off at 18:00 MT and broadcast on ESPN.
With his relentless drive and the potential for a standout season, Jordan Seaton is on a trajectory that could lead him to the professional ranks sooner than expected.
