While the Indianapolis Colts took some risks in the 2021 Draft, some of which look promising (Mike Strachan) and some of which don’t (Shawn Davis), the draft class will likely be considered a success if defensive end Kwity Paye ends up becoming the star pass rusher the team believes he can be.
Paye didn’t put up jaw-dropping numbers at Michigan, but Chris Ballard was intrigued by his blend of strength, explosion, and size so much that he used the 21st overall pick on him.
