What Happened To Nate Landman?
Landman did the 40-yard dash at CU’s pro day on March 16, but his 20 reps on the 225-pound bench press allayed any worries about the shoulder issue that kept him out of the final five games of the 2021 season. Landman also missed the final few games of the 2020 campaign due to an Achilles tear.
