Isaiah Likely is likely to be drafted by the Colts

Likely is another player the Colts have recently met with. This attention to the tight end position is a clear indicator of what Indianapolis is looking at in this year’s draft.

Isaiah Likely is someone that is heard of less often. With him playing for Coastal Carolina, he does not see the national spotlight nearly as often.

Even then, he has been an incredible player and is rising up draft boards. Right now, he is projected to be a late third-round pick, but could still climb before the draft.

Considering the Colts haven’t just met with Likely, but have had him in for a private workout, it is clear the Colts are high on him in this draft process.

If the Colts are looking for someone that can both block and catch, Likely is the person for that. This could be the best tight end the Colts have seen in a while.
