Colts select Stanford LB Bobby Okereke with 89th pick in 2019 NFL Draft

With the 89th pick of the 3rd round, the Indianapolis Colts selected Stanford linebacker Bobby Okereke.

The 6’1”, 239 pound senior linebacker recorded 94 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 5 passes defensed, and 2 forced fumbles in 13 games for the Cardinal defense—where he was a team captain and two-time All-Pac 12 honorable mention.

Okereke posted a 4.58 forty time, a vertical jump of 33.5 inches, and has great length with measured 34 12 inch arms at the NFL Combine.

He has been highly regarded for his instincts, range, and nose for finding the football with sideline-to-sideline speed.
