Some alumni of Colorado Football scratch their heads on Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter by taking their number to withdraw.
The dynamic duo, which put the university back on the map, has its figures, 2 and 12, respectively, retired this weekend, less than a week before being taken, probably in the top five, in the draft of the NFL.
The conversation has become polarizing and the former CU star, Chad Brown, weighed.

“Everything is black or white – either I am a jealous old hate hateful who needs to cry in my old man tears, or I am exactly right in ‘I can’t believe that the premium coach would do this”, “said Brown to Tmz Sports.
But he believes that “the truth is somewhere in the middle there”.
Brown clearly said that the two athletes should be considered as big on the program of all time.
“While Travis certainly deserves his flowers and deserves to retire from his number, to forget the biggest era of university football in Cu, of which I was part of the moment when we won a national championship, it also looks like a light,” said Brown. “So two things can be true at the same time. These guys deserve their flowers, but in the past, guys also deserve them.

“I’m not saying they don’t deserve it. I say there are many other deserving players who should probably come first.”
Brown also noted that the Colorado bar is not necessarily low. Only four numbers had already been removed by the program. The most recent was N ° 19 by Rashaan Salaam in 2017. Before that, Bobby Anderson’s No. 11 was withdrawn in 1970.

“If we were a program that put these things back all the time, I think that me and many other elders would examine this through a very, very different lens,” said Brown. “But considering how incredibly conservative we have been, and now to do it for two guys who are both on campus – their financing class has not even left campus – it seems a bit strange, a little premature. And not to have a kind of waiting period, so as not to do any, very strange procedure.”
Brown added that he believed that “most” old buffaloes “feel the same thing as me”.
Sanders and Hunter followed the father of Sanders, deion, Jackson State, and although their first campaign ended with disappointment, the second season was much better. At the end of the season, the Buffaloes checked their own destiny for the university football playoffs, but a defeat against Kansas helped kill these hopes.

Hunter, the double -meaning star, won the Heisman trophy, and Hunter and Sanders are in the conversation to be the second and third choice of the draft next week.
