The Colorado Buffaloes are gearing up for a season with lofty expectations, and their coaching staff is making sure players understand what it takes to meet them. Former NFL stars Domata Peko and Marshall Faulk took center stage recently, giving the team impactful words of wisdom designed to push them toward greatness.
Defensive Line Coach Domata Peko knows a thing or two about controlling the line of scrimmage. His message to the Buffaloes was clear: "As a D-line, I want to see us dominating. Dominate that line of scrimmage, not only that. Dominate the classroom, dominate individual. Dominate when you're in the body work." Peko emphasized that success isn't limited to just the field. Players must dominate in every facet of life, from study sessions to personal discipline.

Peko also shared his personal philosophy on constant improvement: "One of the things that I love and that I live my life by is always trying to be someone that's on the rise. Never be complacent. Don't ever get like this and downhill. You're always trying to get better every day." It's about keeping the pedal to the metal, pushing forward with relentless self-improvement each day.

Running Backs Coach Marshall Faulk, one of the most electrifying players in NFL history, shared a valuable lesson for the Buffaloes: "How you do one thing is how you do everything." Faulk stressed that slacking off in any area-whether it's practice, academics, or effort-affects the entire team. He also underscored that effort "requires no talent." Giving your all, regardless of your physical gifts, is the foundation for success.
