Can the Colts discover a hidden gem with Indiana-native Austin Booker?

INDIANAPOLIS – Austin Booker was training at X3 Performance and Physical Therapy in Fort Myers, Fla. when he received an invite to the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The Indiana-native was the first prospect in his group to toe the line during Thursday’s workout at Lucas Oil Stadium and posted an official 4.79, 40-yard dash time. His 10-foot broad jump ranked tied for tenth among all edge rushers who participated at the combine.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound edge rusher has an explosive first step to penetrate at the snap, which gains substantial outside leverage on film. Booker uses heavy hands to keep opposing linemen off-balance and disengage blockers to defend the run.
