After trading back from pick 46, the Colts landed Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell–adding a needed playmaking presence to this offense.
Mitchell brings very good size and elite 4.34 speed to the Colts’ offense. He had a breakout year with Texas in 2023 after transferring from Georgia. Mitchell was often targeted more downfield with that speed of his and averaged 15.4 yards per catch with 11 touchdowns.
