Colts Draft Bryce Boettcher: Multi-Tool Athlete

0:00On April 25, Indianapolis Colts just snag linebacker Bryce Boetcher with the one-thirty-fifth overall pick in the fourth round of the Dombur. NFL Draft. This dude's a straight multi-tool athlete, fresh off being a 13th round MLB pick by the Houston Astros last year out of Oregon. He bought out in baseball for the Ducks, hitting 276 with 12 homers that spring in 2024, but ditched the diamond to lock in on football full time. Fans are buzzing about his breakout seasons, 94 tackles with aid for loss and two sacks in 2024, then exploding for one. 136 tackles, 5.5 for loss, picks in both years, and two force fumbles last season. Colts shipped off Zaire Franklin this off season so they're rebuilding that linebacker room, and Boetcher's versatility from two sports makes him a perfect fit to step up quick. Word is, this kid's got that rare grind. It'll be wild watching how he cars out his spot in the league right away.
