INDIANAPOLIS -- Not getting drafted never crossed the mind of Indianapolis Colts rookie defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.
The former Vanderbilt player knew he would hear his named called at some point during the three-day NFL draft.
When it was going to happen was anybody’s guess, though. It’s not because Odeyingbo is a fringe NFL player. He’s definitely an NFL player. The question was how far his stock would fall after Odeyingbo tore his Achilles while working out in California to prepare for the Senior Bowl in January.
Odeyingbo’s agent and the teams he met with were telling him he shouldn’t drop too far in the draft due to the injury.
