Colorado Buffaloes legends Rashaan Salaam, Michael Westbrook on 2019 College Football Hall of Fame ballot

Two legendary Colorado teammates and a current Buffaloes assistant coach are in line for a prestigious honor.

Receiver Michael Westbrook and the late Rashaan Salaam are on the ballot for the 2019 class of the College Football Hall of Fame, along with CU cornerbacks coach Ashley Ambrose. The list was announced Monday morning by the Hall of Fame and the National Football Foundation.

“It’s an enormous honor to just be on the ballot when you think that more than 5.26 million people have played college football and only 997 players have been inducted,” said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell, who was inducted into the CU Athletic Hall of Fame last November.
