Colts Snag Late-Round Gem Deion Burks

0:00On April 29th, the Indianapolis Colts wrapped up their 2026 NFL draft with a steel at pick 254th overall, grabbing. Oklahoma-wide receiver Deon Berks, this kid's got immediate upside, ready to push for playing time as a rookie. At under 5 feet 10 and 180 pounds, he still balled out wide for the Sooners, showing he can handle the outside. Berks lit it up last season with 58 catches on 86 targets for 617 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was nasty after the catch too, turning short passes into big gains with his quickness and strength. Scouts are hyped on his athleticism, ran a 4.3040, jumped 42.5 inches vertical, 10 feet 11 inches broad, and cranked out 26 bench press reps. Pound for pound, they say he's explosive off the line and fights through contact like a bigger dude. He lines up versatile inside or out, which fits perfect for the Colts.

1:00Expect him to battle Ashton Dolan, Nick Westbrook Icon, Oleg Pierce, and Josh Downes for that WR-3 spot right away. This late-round gym was ranked 96th on the big board, making it one of the draft's best values. Colts fans keep an eye. Berks could be turning heads before training camp even hits.
