The Indianapolis Colts used a premium pick in the 2021 NFL draft on defensive end Kwity Paye, hoping he could turn into a cornerstone piece of the front seven.
While his rookie season wasn’t immaculate by any standards, the young pass rusher showed enough promise to have hope for his bright future. He wound up with 4.0 sacks on the season while registering the third-most pressures among rookie defensive ends, per Pro Football Focus.
PFF also believes that Paye has the ability to break out in 2022 and listed him as their early choice for the Colts.
