There was one common theme throughout the 2022 NFL draft for the Indianapolis Colts: bet on high-end traits and athleticism.
It was clear the Colts wanted to infuse the roster with more athletic and dynamic playmakers at different positions across the roster. It started with Cincinnati wide receiver Alec Pierce in the second round and ended with Yale defensive back Rodney Thomas II in the seventh round.
Objectively, not one player the Colts drafted could be considered unathletic. In fact, the creator of Relative Athletic Score (RAS), Kent Lee Platte, said the Colts finished with the most athletic draft class in the entire NFL.
