Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard spoke after selecting Adonai Mitchell and Matt Goncalves.
After drafting their top defensive player in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday, UCLA defensive end Laiatu Latu, the Indianapolis Colts got to work again on Friday in Rounds 2 and 3, adding more players that they loved.
“I think he can kind of do it all. He’s got work to do, but he is really skilled. He’s a really skilled athlete. Like any wideout that comes in this league, it’s an adjustment period because the coverage is tighter. You have to be better and more detailed on your route running. He’s extremely skilled – there’s not a lot he can’t do athletically. We’ll see how he comes along.”
“They were beating the drum for a while now. They think – I mean, we all did. Look, he’s an extremely talented young man, and I think we’re all really excited to get him.” “It’s funny because I actually got to see him play at left tackle because their right tackle got hurt the year before when he was the starting right tackle and kicked to left tackle. So, you got to see him play left tackle so that was good because we go back and watch junior tape – younger tape too. We have a good feel for who he is. That was probably one of the most fun calls I’ve had now – it was fun. He’ll fit in now.
