BREAKING: Colts Select Missouri State DT Eric Johnson in Round 5, Pick 159
The Indianapolis Colts have selected Missouri State defensive tackle Eric Johnson in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft with the 159th-overall pick.
At 6'5", 299, Johnson is a highly athletic defensive tackle that the Colts got a closer look at while at the Senior Bowl.
The Colts now add Johnson to a defensive tackle group that needs depth behind DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart. He may be able to compete right away with Chris Williams and R.J. McIntosh.
The Colts previously selected Cincinnati wide receiver Alec Pierce with the 53rd pick, Virginia tight end Jelani Woods with the 73rd pick, Central Michigan offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann with the 77th pick, and Maryland safety Nick Cross with the 96th pick.
Here are the Colts' remaining selections:
- 6:192
- 6:216
- 7:239
