How Jalen Travis could become the key to this year's Colts offensive line

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jalen Travis isn't your traditional offensive lineman.

For one, the Colts' new fourth-round draft pick measures 6-foot-8 and 339 pounds. Secondly, he can jump 35 inches in the vertical jump, or three inches higher than the cornerback the Colts drafted the round ahead of him, Justin Walley.

Third, he has a degree from Princeton and plans to go back some day for law school.

Put it together, and the bet the Colts are placing is a unique one. But like their newest tackle, the payoff can be big.

"I think the physical ability that he brings," coach Shane Steichen said.
