His career 9,191 passing yards stood as more than 2,000 beyond the previous leader (Kelly Stouffer) at the time Grayson ended his CSU career. A 2014 first-team All-Mountain West honoree, Grayson was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year. Grayson led his team to the 2013 New Mexico Bowl where he passed for 369 yards and two touchdowns to guide his team to an unbelievable come-from-behind victory. He won the 2015 Nye Trophy for best male athlete and was named the 2014-15 Mountain West Male Athlete of the Year before beginning his career in the NFL. He played in the 2014 Senior Bowl and was invited to play in the 2014 East-West Shrine game. After being invited to the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, Grayson was drafted in the third round by the New Orleans Saints where he spent two seasons. He spent two seasons with the Falcons and Broncos before retiring in 2019.
