It was a quiet NFL draft weekend for Colorado State.
There were no Rams selected in the 2026 NFL draft, part of a statewide shutout with no players from any Colorado schools picked.
A few former Rams (from the 2025 season or before) did land post-draft NFL opportunities.
Lemondre Joe, who played at CSU in 2025 after four seasons at Missouri State, landed a rookie camp invite with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Joe started all 12 games for the Rams in 2025. The cornerback had a team-high 3.5 sacks, along with 56 tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss and 13 pass breakups.
Joe had seven interceptions in his four seasons at Missouri State.
Two other players who previously played at CSU landed NFL opportunities.
Linebacker Chase Wilson was a Ram from 2020-24 before finishing his college career at West Virginia in 2025. Wilson had 234 tackles over 37 games played at CSU.
Wilson landed a rookie camp invite with the New York Jets.
Tight end Tanner Arkin, who played at CSU from 2021-22, signed with the Patriots after spending his final three college seasons at Illinois.
