Le'Raven Clark's length, position flexibility made Texas Tech's OL an easy pick for Colts

Texas Tech offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark's consistency and athleticism drew attention from the Indianapolis Colts whether in NFL Combine workouts or private team workouts with position coach Joe Philbin, enough for the franchise to use its third round pick to add the three-time All-Big 12 selection in the third round.

The Colts allowed 37 sacks last season and their quarterback - whether Andrew Luck, Matt Hasselbeck, Charlie Whitehurst, Josh Freeman or Ryan Lindley - was hit 118 times throughout the season, second-most in the NFL. General Manager Ryan Grigson hopes to keep his franchise talent on the field next season by addressing a need for offensive linemen.
