Colts Select Michigan Edge Kwity Paye with the 21st Overall Pick in the 2021 NFL Draft

Contrary to popular belief, the Indianapolis Colts did not trade down with the 21st overall pick, and instead, selected highly touted Michigan edge Kwity Paye.

The 6’2”, 261 pound senior Wolverines edge recorded 16 tackles (12 solo), 4.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks during 4 games—as a Second-Team All-Big Ten member in 2020.

Paye tested out incredibly well at his recent Michigan Pro Day with a RAS [Relative Athletic Score] of 9.33 out of a possible 10.0—not even factoring in an earlier freaky 3-cone time.
