The Indianapolis Colts have met with another prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft. 

Ryan Fowler of Bleacher Report reported that the Colts met with RB Blake Watson. 

Watson started his college career with Old Dominion University from 2018 to 2022 before transferring to the University of Memphis for the 2023 season. 

Watson is considered one of the stronger RB prospects in the 2024 draft class. He had multiple productive college seasons, and he saved the best for last in 2023 at Memphis. A specialty of his that will be attractive to many teams, is his receiving ability. I believe this skill is likely one of the reasons that he could be one of the top RBs on the Colts' board.
