With the 85th Pick, the Colts Select Utah Safety Julian Blackmon

With the 85th overall pick in the 3rd round (via a trade down with the Detroit Lions), the Indianapolis Colts have selected Utah safety Julian Blackmon.

The 6’0”, 187 pound senior safety recorded 60 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 4 passes defensed, and 4 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) in 12 starts this past season—earning First-Team All-Pac 12 and 2nd-Team All-American honors.

The three-time All Pac-12 member had 9 interceptions over his last three seasons.

Blackmon did not participate in the NFL Combine because he suffered a torn ACL in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
