Colorado football stars Jordan Seaton and Zylon Crisler are putting in serious work this offseason. The two offensive linemen recently showcased their intense training routine in a viral video that has Buffaloes fans excited for the upcoming season.
Seaton and Crisler Turn Up the Heat in Epic Colorado Training Session

The linemen train indoors, doing agility work, quick feet drills, ladder drills, and cone drills. These exercises show the athleticism these big guys possess and their ability to move efficiently. For offensive linemen weighing over 300 pounds, this kind of footwork separates good players from great ones.
Next, Seaton hits the weight room for back exercises, putting in the strength training needed to become one of college football’s best offensive tackles. The 6’5″, 295-pound tackle knows that upper body strength is crucial for pass protection, especially against elite pass rushers in the Big 12.
The training takes an interesting turn when the duo works out at the beach. Outdoor drills and running in the sand present a new challenge, as both linemen must maintain balance and practice core stability while developing functional fitness that carries over to better football performance.
Sand workouts are popular among NFL players because they force athletes to engage stabilizing muscles that don’t get worked on traditional gym floors.
The final scene shows both players riding around on ATV motorbikes, proving they can have some fun along the way while still being dedicated to their training goals. The balance between hard work and enjoying the process is something coach Deion Sanders has emphasized since arriving in Boulder.
Dominant Performances Define Rising Stars
Seaton’s freshman season was nothing short of spectacular. The former five-star recruit started all 13 games for Colorado, becoming the first true freshman to start at offensive tackle in school history. That’s a remarkable achievement considering the physical and mental demands of playing left tackle in major college football.
His protection was outstanding, allowing just three sacks in 612 pass blocking snaps and going 11 games without giving up a single sack. Those numbers put him among the best pass protectors in college football, regardless of class. For comparison, many veteran tackles struggle to maintain that level of consistency over a full season.
Seaton earned Freshman All-American honors from multiple outlets and recently received a 92 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 26, ranking as the fifth-best offensive lineman in the game. The video game rating reflects his real-world impact and potential for continued growth.
Crisler, who transferred from Illinois, brings veteran experience to Colorado’s offensive line. The 6’7″, 350-pound lineman started 28 games at right guard and two at right tackle for the Fighting Illini over three seasons, earning All-Big Ten honorable mention recognition twice. His size and experience make him a perfect complement to Seaton’s athleticism.
Crisler’s versatility allows him to play multiple positions along the offensive line, giving Colorado valuable depth and leadership. Having a player who can step in at guard or tackle provides coach Sanders with flexibility in game planning and injury situations.
Colorado’s 2024 season exceeded expectations with a 9-4 record and a 7-2 mark in Big 12 play. The Buffaloes finished fourth in the conference standings, a remarkable improvement from their 4-8 record the previous year. The offensive line played a huge role in that turnaround, protecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders while opening running lanes.
The team averaged 32.9 points per game while Seaton anchored an offensive line that protected Sanders effectively throughout the season. Sanders was sacked just 26 times in 13 games, a significant improvement from the previous season when the line struggled with consistency.
Both players have been training with NFL star Trent Williams this offseason, refining their techniques with the San Francisco 49ers’ Pro Bowl tackle.
Williams, widely considered one of the best left tackles in the NFL, provides the kind of high-level coaching that can take already talented players to the next level. This training, combined with their natural talent and work ethic, positions Colorado’s offensive line for another strong season in 2025.
