Jets Eye Drew Allar in 4th Round

0:00It's April 9th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. The Indianapolis Colts are bringing in a hot-pass rush prospect from UCF, defensive in Malachi, Lawrence, for a visit this week. This 6'4", 253-pound beast, had 7 sacks and 11 tackles for loss in his senior year, and he lit up the NFL combine. With a 4.5-240-yard dash, a 40-inch vertical, and a 10-foot-10 broadjump, earning the second best athletic score at his, position. Colts fans know the past rush has been shaky lately, with someone off-flashes, ligandic and gokawais, 9.5 sacks in 2022. Samson Evacom, matching that in 2023. La A2? La A2 stepped up last year with 8.5 sacks, but the team still lacks reliable starters beyond him. Right now, their defensive in-room starts with La A2, and second-round pick Jaylon Tuy Malau, who's only played sparingly in 13 games as a rookie.

1:04Reserves include Arden Kee, Michael Clemens, DeRail Enchemy, and William E. Fahoko Jr., solid death, but not enough proven juice to dominate. General manager Chris Baller has gone heavy on second-round defensive ends before, drafting 5 total, but only Dayo O'Dangbo hit big with 8. Sacks in 2023. The hit rates low, so Lawrence ranked the 8th best at his spot, and 41st overall could be the smart day 2 gamble. If he fits their scheme, this visit might lock in the edge they crave to turn that front 7 into a real threat.
