Indianapolis Colts third-round draft choice WR Josh Downs (North Carolina) was "the best receiver at the (NFL Scouting) Combine," according to wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne.
"What I saw at the Combine is not what I saw on tape. On tape, you kind of looked at him a little bit and things seemed a little bit more controlled. At the Combine, you saw his speed. You saw he can run. The way he ran his routes were effortless, you know what I mean? It was smooth. ... He's the player I think we were missing, A guy who's agile, who's versatile. Guy who can win on the option routes, things of that sort. I think he's the right fit for us," Wayne told FOX59's Mike Chappell.
Huddle Up: At 5-foot-9 and 171 pounds, Downs is definitely a departure from what general manager Chris Ballard typically drafts at receiver. With that said, he should be a consistent and reliable option for Anthony Richardson across the middle of the field. Downs is also surprisingly adept at contested catches and in the red zone, so he stands a decent chance at making a solid rookie-year impact. Fantasy managers should consider Downs in the WR4/5 range in 12-team leagues.

North Carolina WR Josh Downs was selected by the Indianapolis Colts with the 79th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Downs was one of the most productive receivers in college over the past few seasons, but he probably won't see a huge workload as a rookie with fellow rookie Anthony Richardson potentially starting under center and the offense leaning on Jonathan Taylor and the ground game.
