Despite taking over just four years ago, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has established quite the reputation when it comes to trading back in the NFL Draft.

Perhaps the greatest move of Ballard’s brief tenure came in 2018 when he shipped the No. 3 overall pick to the Jets for the No. 6 overall pick and three second-rounders, which ultimately turned into Quenton Nelson, Braden Smith, Rock Ya-Sin, Kemoko Turay and Jordan Wilkins.
