The Indianapolis Colts aren't leaving any stone unturned during this draft cycle.

As they hosted a mountain of a man in offensive tackle Giovanni Manu out of the University of British Columbia for a top 30 visit. 

For many of you, this may be the first time you've ever heard of Manu; others might have seen some of the hype surrounding the player many are labeling "The Ultimate Sleeper." Manu is one of the largest humans the NFL Draft will ever see, with the University of British Columbia listing him at 6'8" and 350 LBs. This top 30 visit wasn't the first time the Colts met with Manu either, as they reportedly sent offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter to watch his Pro Day in person. 

The Colts don't have a need at tackle by any means, but Manu, who is a converted basketball player who, has the upside to play multiple offensive line positions, and the Colts even converted an offensive tackle to tight end during the year with Jordan Murray who is still listed as TE heading into next season. So, a player like Manu, who has incredible size and athleticism for the position, is like drafting a mystery box on day three of the NFL Draft, which sounds pretty enticing.
