Colorado’s secondary meshing well together early in fall camp
For those worried that Colorado football’s roster turnover might make things difficult for players to get on the same page, Wednesday’s media scrum with the Buffs’ defensive backs should dispel those fears. Incoming transfer defensive backs DJ McKinney and Preston Hodge were at the podium answering questions about fall camp when two veteran safeties decided it was time for a curveball. Shilo Sanders and Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig did their best reporter impersonations and started firing questions at their new teammates.
