Indianapolis Colts’ first-round pick Kwity Paye has been named to PFFs All-Rookie team for the 2021 season.
The article by Ben Linsey, which can be found here, highlights some of the reasons Paye was selected to the team.
Linsey writes, in part, “That athleticism flashed in some high-quality pass-rush wins that led to Paye leading all rookie edge defenders with a 71.3 pass-rushing grade. The sack numbers (4.0 sacks) weren’t quite there, but those should come if he continues to win his pass-rushing reps at the same rate he did in 2020.”
Paye increasingly got better as the season progressed, accumulating four sacks, 32 combined tackles (20 solo) and a forced fumble in 15 starts.
