Round 6, Pick 207. AntoineBethea. 14. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. S. 46. player

Antoine Bethea played 14 seasons in the NFL, with four different teams. However, his most impactful run was with the Indianapolis Colts.

Bethea was the 207th-overall pick of the 2006 Draft out of Howard University. He immediately contributed to Indianapolis in a big way during his rookie season.

He won the starting job at strong safety and started all 14 games that he played in. That season, Indy dominated on both sides of the ball and ultimately won Super Bowl 41.

That was just the start for Bethea. A season later, Bethea would make his first Pro Bowl. He ultimately made three in his career and two of them were with Indy.

In total, he played eight seasons with Indianapolis, 123 games, and recorded 14 interceptions and 805 tackles.

Following his time in Indy, Bethea played three seasons with the 49ers, two with the Cardinals, and one with the New York Giants. However, his only Super Bowl victory came with Indy.
