Todd McShay, an ESPN NFL Draft analyst, sees former Michigan defensive end Kwity Paye having a better career in the pros than he did in college and projects him a solid first-round selection.
Paye, who recently was hand-timed at 4.52 seconds in the 40-yard dash during Michigan’s Pro Day, is No. 21 in McShay’s latest mock draft, going to the Indianapolis Colts. McShay, during an ESPN conference call Monday, also thinks highly of former Michigan receiver Nico Collins, who opted out last season, and sees him as a potential second-round NFL Draft selection.
The 6-foot-2, 261-pound Paye is Michigan’s only draft-eligible prospect projected by most analysts in the first round of the upcoming draft.
