The Indianapolis Colts made, in my humble and totally biased opinion, the best pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft when they selected edge rusher Kwity Paye from Michigan. Paye was the best defensive end prospect in this draft class with elite athleticism and character, so the fact that he slipped to pick 21 was a gift.
Since the Colts drafted Paye, I have been combing through his games over the past two years and have made cut-ups of some of his better games to profile his traits and abilities. So today, in this film room, we will look at those cut-ups and come to some conclusions about why this pick has the potential to be great.
