Indianapolis Colts Host Local Pro Day with 38 Prospects
By Andrew Ites
The Colts are continuing their preparation for the NFL Draft by hosting a local pro day including 38 prospects from surrounding colleges and hometowns.
The Colts took a closer look at some of the prospects in their own backyard by inviting them to the team facility for a workout ahead of the upcoming draft.
Current Colts center Deyshawn Bond and wide receiver Krishawn Hogan both attended this event last year and earned playing time in Indianapolis in 2017.
Here is the complete list of this year’s participants courtesy of of the Colts’ website:

There were plenty of potential draft picks attending this pro day.
Indiana wide receiver Simmie Cobbs is an extremely intriguing prospect for the Colts considering their need for size in the receiving corps.
Indiana tight end Ian Thomas has been creating some positive buzz among the NFL Draft community. Minnesota’s Nathanial Wozniak is also an interesting name to consider adding to the Colts’ tight end room.
I could see general manager Chris Ballard drafting Rashard Fant and/or Jaylen Dunlap to address the Colts’ need at corner.
Linebackers Danny Ezechukwu, Ja’Whaun Bentley, and Tegray Scales will all get some consideration as potential additions at a position of need for the Colts.
Indianapolis did a great job getting some serious talent to come to this pro day, and I could easily see a couple of these players wearing Colts uniforms next year.
