Clemson Football: Deon Cain is outplaying his draft position

Former Clemson receiver Deon Cain was selected No. 185 in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, and he could see lots of playing time this season.

Cain was impressive in the Colts rookie mini camp back in June and thus far, he has been a standout in training camp. The 6-foot-1, 202 pound receiver hasn’t just flashed the 4.43 speed that he used to average 15.7 yards per catch in three years at Clemson, but he has also caught balls in tight coverage.

Right now, he is living up to the pre-draft 2nd round projection.
