UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger is a name to watch for the Indianapolis Colts in the upcoming NFL draft.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Jordan Reid selected Schwesinger as a non-first-round prospect for the Colts who would fill one of their more pressing needs.

"Schwesinger checks many of the boxes of prospects the Colts have targeted in the past," wrote Reid. "He started as a special teams ace and worked his way into becoming a starter, and his instincts and tackle aggression would be an immediate upgrade for the Colts."

Last season, Schwesinger was a very reliable tackler, making 133 of his 144 attempts, according to PFF.
