Antonio Morrison selected by Indianapolis Colts in fourth round of 2016 NFL Draft

Florida's thumper is headed to the AFC South, and a team close to his hometown.

Antonio Morrison spent his senior season at Florida showing that a torn ACL — and an unthinkably swift recovery from it — did not sap him of his ability to play football and lead a defense. For that, and other reasons, the Indianapolis Colts grabbed him in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Morrison starred early in his Florida career, memorably crunching EJ Manuel to force a pivotal fumble in the Gators' 2012 win at Florida State as a true freshman.
