The Indianapolis Colts select TE Brody Eldridge in the 5th round
The Colts have picked TE Brody Eldridge with the 162nd overall pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft. Eldridge is a big guy at 6’5″, 260 pounds and he runs a 4.85 40. His game is blocking as he was a former interior lineman. He is a mauler in the running game and he’s good enough to stay in and deal with blocking DEs. Eldridge played in 9 games (all starts) at Oklahoma last season in which he caught 2 passes for 19 yards (9.5 avg). He played in 49 games (26 starts) in his four years in college and he caught 13 passes for 98 yards (7.5 avg) with 2 TD grabs. Eldridge will likely play a lot on special teams and on running downs for the Colts this season.
