The Indianapolis Colts have selected Missouri State DT Eric Johnson with the 159th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
The Colts lost six defensive linemen following the 2021 season and prior to the draft had only added Yannick Ngakoue. Depth was sorely needed and Johnson brings a high level of athleticism with him from Missouri State.
Eric Johnson II was drafted with pick 159 of round 5 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.16 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 123 out of 1459 DT from 1987 to 2022.
