North Carolina wide receiver Bug Howard signs with Indianapolis Colts as undrafted free agent

Tar Heel wide receiver Bug Howard was not one of six teammates who heard their name called during the NFL Draft, but he has still found a home in the NFL. Howard has been signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent.

From Matt’s profile of him, Howard improved all four years at Carolina, breaking out with six catches for over 100 yards in the 2015 opener against South Carolina. It all culminated in Howard’s senior season, where he was the team’s second leading receiver. Howard had 53 catches for 827 yards in the 2016 season.
