The Indianapolis Colts used Day 3 of the 2023 NFL draft to add some serious depth to the defensive side of the ball, including the selection of cornerback Darius Rush.
The South Carolina product was selected in the fifth round of the draft, giving the Colts another intriguing player with upside to add some competition to the room.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the pick:
Colts quietly got 2 really good corners in Julius Brents and Darius Rush…

They colt drafted him with the pick they got from the Gilmore trade. Not saying Rush is going to be an all pro but I believe he will be a solid corner for years to come l.#ForTheShoe https://t.co/wXtxNomqFU
