Report: Colts to host CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse for pre-draft visit

The Indianapolis Colts reportedly will host LSU cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse for a top-30 visit ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.

Arguably the biggest position of need outside of the quarterback position, the Colts will lean heavily into the cornerback class during the draft after trading away veteran Stephon Gilmore for a fifth-round pick.

According to Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston, the Colts will host Bernard-Converse on a visit Tuesday.

Bernard-Converse currently projects to be a late Day 3 or priority free agent signing following the draft. The fifth-year senior spent his first four years of college at Oklahoma State before transferring to LSU for the 2022 season.

He was a three-year starter at Oklahoma State with his best season coming in 2021. He started 14 games while recording 48 tackles, 10 passes defended, 1.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

During the 2022 season with LSU, Bernard-Converse appeared in 13 games while making nine starts. Though he only had five passes defended, he did secure two interceptions for the Tigers.

What’s most intriguing about Bernard-Converse’s profile is his athleticism. At 6-foot-0 and 196 pounds, he has 32 1/4-inch arms, and he posted a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash and a 42-inch vertical jump at LSU’s pro day.

Though he may not hear his name called during the draft, Bernard-Converse should be a prospect to keep an eye on immediately following the draft as a priority free agent.

We’ll be tracking the Colts’ reported interest in the 2023 draft class so be sure to keep up with latest updates via our tracker.
