Colorado rolled into their spring game looking like a high school squad.
Size is clearly an issue, and the internet felt the same way:
I think the guardian caps are throwing off the proportions a bit, but man 😭 https://t.co/taGdA7zIrQ

While the video may be misleading, the measurements are not.
Projected QB1 Julian Lewis measures at 6’0, 190 pounds, on the smaller side for a QB1 in the NCAA.
Looking at the rest of the team coming out of the locker room, it’s clear they need more support.
Them boys need a nutritionist and a S&C operations upgrade. https://t.co/qwA3IEvbAt

Will size be a major issue for a Colorado squad that only went 3-9 last season?
