BOULDER — Chidera Uzo-Diribe knows his future is in football.

Exactly where and at what level, however, is still up in the air.

Uzo-Diribe, currently a Colorado graduate assistant, has been a part of college football as a player and coach for the better part of a decade. This year, he is getting the opportunity to dip his toes into NFL waters as part of the league's Bill Walsh Coaching Fellowship program. Uzo-Diribe spent a week with the San Francisco 49ers during their late spring OTAs (organized training activities), and will be back with the Niners for the first week of their training camp over the next seven days.
