Josh Downs is the first Tar Heel off the NFL Draft Board, after the Indianapolis Colts decided to select him with the 16th pick of the third round, making him the 79th pick overall. The wide receiver was one of the most productive in college football over the past two years thanks to his combination of electric route running and safe hands, and contributed to a Tar Heel passing attack that has been among the nation’s most effective. After etching his name into the Tar Heel record books, he will look to make a mark at the professional level as well, hopefully finding some synergy with Indianapolis’ first draftee, quarterback Anthony Richardson.
