However, fates took an ugly turn for him when he was still available during the third round. It looked like Downs was going to go undrafted this year and will need to look at other options.

Fortunately, the Indianapolis Colts came calling in the 3rd round and the 21-year-old WR was relieved after his name was called out. The two-time first-team all-ACC was drafted by the Colts as their 79th overall pick. That’s way back than Downs would have imagined. Nonetheless, he was extremely grateful for the team and promised them great things.

Downs got a call from the Colts GM Chris Ballard, who informed him about the NFL draft pick. The WR then went on to make an emotional speech and affirmed that the Colts will never regret signing him, just like Tom Brady stated to Robert Kraft after being drafted as the 199th overall pick.

I appreciate you more than you know. You got a real competitor and a great player. I’m coming.”
