Klopefenstein done in St. Louis

Former CU tight end Joe Klopfenstein, a second round draft choice of St. Louis in 2006, was cut after three seasons with the team.

Klopfenstein had size (6-5, 262), quickness and hands when he left Boulder but those measurables never translated into NFL success (33 catches in 48 games). It was a surprising disappointment for the Rams and followers of CU players in the pros.

Bottom Line -- Klopfenstein hasn't lost his size or skill and he appears relatively healthy. With a strong mindset to overcome this setback he could still, if matched with the right team, develop and become a solid backup at least, if not a quality second-tier starter.
