“He gonna be new swiss army knife”: CFB fans hyped with ex-Colorado star LaJohntay Wester’s exciting practice with Ravens

Former Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver LaJohntay Wester did not get as much attention as many of his teammates ahead of the 2025 NFL draft. Two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders were the most-talked-about Colorado players ahead of the draft.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Wester in the sixth round. On Wednesday, the Ravens' X account posted a video of Wester performing various catching drills.

"He gonna be new swiss army knife," one fan wrote.

"I hope he isn’t only a punt returner I’m telling YALL he’s capable of being their WR3 which sounds crazy," one fan commented.

"I don’t like this he’s more than just a punt and kick returner kid has some great hands and great physically when it comes it contested catches," one fan added.

"Thank y’all for FINALLY giving us some video of LaJohntay!! Nephew is a real DAWG!! Y’all got one for sure," one fan wrote.

"If they wanted a punt returner they should’ve drafted jimmy horn … lajohntay was one of the best receivers in the draft and should be used as such," one fan commented.

"It's weird that we are sitting here treating this man like he is not a top 3 wr in the draft," one fan added.

LaJohntay Wester thrived in a crowed wide receiver room in Colorado

An interesting aspect about LaJohntay Wester is that fans have likely not seen him reach his full potential. Before arriving in Colorado last season, he spent four years with the Florida Atlantic Owls. In Colorado, he had to fight for targets with Travis Hunter, Jimmy Horn Jr. and Will Sheppard.

He registered 74 receptions for 931 yards and 10 TDs this past season, although his numbers could have been higher if he were on a team with a weaker receiver room.

Heading into his first NFL season, there is a lot of room for him to grow into a more dynamic player. Based on the video posted by the Ravens on Wednesday, the coaching staff appears to like what it has seen so far.
