Former Colorado football standout Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig may be gearing up for his next chapter in the NFL, but that didn’t stop him from taking a heartfelt timeout to celebrate someone special, his girlfriend, Mia Moore. The birthday tributes from Silmon-Craig caught fans’ attention this week, as he shared sweet moments and impressive basketball highlights of Moore on social media, shining a light on her both as a person and an athlete.

Silmon-Craig, known for his hard-hitting presence on the football field, showed his softer side through photos and messages dedicated to Moore, who appears to be just as competitive and dynamic, only on the hardwood. From courtside clips showing her scoring and dishing assists to candid moments between the couple, the birthday posts revealed a personal side of the former Buffs safety that fans rarely see.
It’s been a busy year for Silmon-Craig, who started all 13 games for Colorado during the 2024 season. He was a defensive leader for the Buffaloes, finishing with a team-high 93 tackles, 65 of them solo, along with 10 tackles for loss, two sacks, and a memorable 95-yard fumble return touchdown against UCF.
That play was the second-longest in CU history and a prime example of why Silmon-Craig earned All-Big 12 honors from both coaches and media.
Despite being a consistent force for the Buffaloes and earning recognition in the East-West Shrine Game, Silmon-Craig went undrafted. Still, the safety didn’t wait long to get his NFL shot. Just hours after the draft wrapped up, he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, joining fellow Colorado standouts BJ Green II and Travis Hunter in Duval County.
While his future in the NFL is just getting started, Silmon-Craig’s commitment to family and relationships is already well-defined. Fans praised his authenticity and love for Moore, a rising basketball talent herself. Her court skills, highlighted in the birthday posts, quickly sparked interest from followers who weren’t just tuning in for football.

Off the field, Silmon-Craig has made a career out of proving doubters wrong. At 5-foot-10 and 188 pounds, he doesn’t fit the mold of a “prototypical safety,” but his tape and numbers tell a different story. He ranked second in the Big 12 and seventh in the NCAA in solo tackles, cleaning up plays in Colorado’s aggressive defensive scheme like a seasoned pro.
As he embarks on the next phase of his journey with the Jaguars, Silmon-Craig’s recent birthday tribute to Mia Moore offered a glimpse of the man behind the helmet, a devoted partner, a supportive boyfriend, and a player who brings heart both on and off the field.
