1. Kendall Coleman
The Colts grabbed Kendall Coleman and got a steal after he went undrafted.
If not for a disastrous 2019 season from the Syracuse Orange, who knows what would’ve happened to Kendall Coleman’s draft status. After a 10-3 season that finished with a bowl win in 2018, the Orange stunk it up in 2019 and went 5-7 in a largely weak ACC.
Unfortunately for Coleman, he regressed a tad too. After registering 10 sacks and 32 tackles (12 for loss) in 2018, the 6-foot-3, 235-pound pass rusher followed that up with four sacks and 48 tackles (10.5 for loss) in 2019. Not bad! But also not nearly as groundbreaking as his junior year.
Colts legend Robert Mathis thinks Coleman is going to be the “steal of the draft” thanks to his speed and aggressiveness. We’ve seen the man burn offensive linemen, crush quarterbacks and chase ball carriers down the field. That’ll play in the NFL, especially if he gets some help from a stacked Colts front seven.
Many thought Coleman would’ve at least been a late-round pick given his size and speed, but the he fell in the Colts’ lap. Get ready to watch this kid possibly be part of the defensive line rotation in 2020.
