Granted there are at least 2 or 3 possible differnt spellings of his first name, and I had to look it up to be sure ... but it is DAVONTAE HARRIS.

Congrats Davontae !!!!!!!!!!!

Channel 4 had a feature on D. Harris today. He raced two high school kids at a go-cart track and finnished 3rd. He kept spinning out.

Shelby has 3 sacks and 2 hurries against Minnesota today.

Good for Tre .. amazing to think a starting QB all his life could make the change to CB like this AFTER college. Will be fun to see on Sundays at somme point.

Shelby sacked Mahomes twice today and made a giant snow angel.

The Broncos got their butts beat.

Tell Shelby to keep it up. I'll be out to see him 12/29.

It should be a pretty easy ticket. There were 19,000 no shows at the last home game. It'll be the last Oakland Raiders appearance at Mile High.

I’m curious how many NDSU players are in the league. Minus Wentz, there are not any I can think of. Is this because I have blinders on ( and read this thread) and just notice ISU players or does NDSU just have such a strong program that they don’t necessary need NFL caliber players?

I guess with how much they dominate FCS, I am surprised I don’t hear more NDSUs called out when players introduce themselves during the first drives.of course, they could also be on the bench which is also why i don’t hear nor notice.

Billy Turner (Packers OT) and Easton Stick (Chargers QB) are two right off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more. I do remember reading a few years back that the Birds had the most FCS players in training camp or something to that effect.

I count six. The Bison and the Redbirds are more heavily represented on NFL rosters than some Bowl Series teams.

Compare the FOUR Redbirds on opening day 2019 rosters to the FBS totals.

Further argument that the top of FCS overlaps the bottom of FBS.

That’s awesome and crazy. Kudos to Spack continuously getting top level talent in here and developing.

Shelby will be an unrestricted free agent this spring, and will probably command between $8 & $11 million per season. I hope the Broncos retain him.

The Great Shelby Harris salvages a Broncos win by knocking down a Darek Carr 2 point attempt with 7 seconds left in the game.

16-15 Broncos win.

I did thanks. My daughter and her boyfriend live in Stapleton. He's a Raider Fan so he and I went with him in silver and black and me in orange and blue to cheer on Shelby and Davontae. We took the train in from Stapleton. Good game. Cold but not too bad for late December. Two passes batted down by Shelby! And the Broncos win. Also got to see a bit of history with the last Oakland Raider game. Almost time to board the flight back. No live football until spring practice. Go Birds.
