rugged Colorado center who lived in the trenches every snap
In the 2013 season, Gus Handler was a tone-setting Colorado offensive lineman who started all 12 games at center and played 830 of 832 snaps, showing rare durability and trustworthiness in the middle of the line. Colorado credited him with the most snaps on offense and a 64.8% plus-play rate, underscoring steady execution rather than flash. His edge is reliability: he can anchor, stay on the field, and handle the dirty work that keeps an offense on schedule. For a team needing toughness, consistency, and a low-drama veteran presence, he fits the bill.
