Isaiah Lewis gaining NFL draft buzz
The Colorado Buffaloes football program has been a big talking point since the spring game with players leaving Boulder following the first live-action in the Deion Sanders era.
However, with the 2023 NFL draft coming up, there is at least one former Buffs player drawing interest: safety Isaiah Lewis. NFL insider Tanner Phifer mentioned that Lewis has garnered quite a bit of interest from a number of teams, including the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, among a number of others.
Lewis played in 43 career games and had 19 starts for Colorado, and he should be a name to watch for the next week, especially with all of the undrafted free agents.

In Lewis’ time in Boulder, he totaled 132 career tackles with 3.5 sacks and three interceptions.
The Buffs’ defense had a rough few years, but Lewis had been one of the bright spots and should at least get a look at a training camp invite.
Nate Landman and Carson Wells were the two Buffs last year who left for the NFL, and maybe Lewis can catch on to a 53-man roster.
