LB. Georgia. Leonard Floyd. 18. player. 46.

 

The Colts are in a similar position as the team drafting ahead of them when it comes to their defense.  A lack of big time playmakers has left the team vulnerable to giving up big points and has caused their offense to constantly feel the pressure of scoring touchdowns in order to get wins.

Moving forward, the Colts need some athleticism and excitement on defense and it starts with drafting Leonard Floyd from Georgia.

This athletic linebacker can make plays all over the field and brings an energy which can’t be coached.  Ultimately Floyd has the potential to be the leader on defense for a Colts’ team desperate for a defensive identity.
