While the Indianapolis Colts may not have drafted a pure pass rusher, the team potentially found a defensive lineman who can “push the pocket” by selecting Texas defensive lineman Hassan Ridgeway in the 4th round of this year’s NFL Draft.
The Colts are hoping that the 6’3″, 303 pound defensive tackle can generate some much needed pass rush for the defense–only primarily from the interior and not necessarily the edge:
“Hassan is a big, strong guy that can give you push inside,” said head coach Chuck Pagano via Colts.com.
