Ryan ChartrandAll-American receiver Ramses Barden, who finished his Cal Poly football career Nov. 29, poses Thursday night with his jersey at Firestone Grill, which hung it to commemorate his accomplishments (including school career records for catches and touchdowns).
Monday, Barden finished fourth in the voting for the Walter Payton Award, which is given to the FCS’ best offensive player.
He’ll play in the East-West Shrine Game in Houston on Jan. 17 on ESPN2, in preparation for the NFL Draft scouting combine in Indianapolis from Feb. 18-24.
Other Cal Poly alumni honored by the restaurant include Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden and National Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. To find out what ESPN’s Todd McShay said about Barden’s NFL Draft stock, please see Monday’s Mustang Daily.
