Former Clemson wide receiver Deon Cain was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the 185th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft Saturday.
Cain is the first former Tiger taken in this year’s draft.
At 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, scouts like Cain’s size and speed. He ran a 4.43 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in March. The biggest knock against him is his inconsistency in catching the football, something he will want to improve upon at the next level.
As a junior last season, Cain earned third-team All-ACC honors after leading Clemson with 734 yards and six touchdown receptions on 58 catches.
