Darrin Chiaverini grew up in southern California where he was an All-Star high school athlete. As a receiver he led the state of California for receptions his senior year and was offered a scholarship from the University of Colorado.

Darrin became team captain at CU and led the team in receptions. He was awarded the inaugural Buffalo Heart Award in 1998 for his “Grit, Determination, and Toughness” on and off the field. His football dreams came in true during the 1999 NFL Draft when he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the 5th round (148th overall). 

During his 7 years in the NFL, Darrin played for the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, and Atlanta Falcons. After leaving professional football, he started his college coaching career at Mt. San Antonio college as the offensive coordinator. After working his way through the junior college ranks, he eventually landed at the University of Colorado where he serves as the offensive coordinator. 

But his greatest achievement came recently when his son, Curtis, joined him as an assistant coach at CU.
