The Indianapolis Colts will be looking to add to the tight end room during the 2020 NFL draft and while it remains to be seen when they will do so, it appears Oregon’s Jacob Breeland is on their radar.
Likely a Day 3 pick, Breeland had a pre-draft visit with the Colts over FaceTime and even had a meeting with them following Oregon’s pro day.

Niiice. When I last talked to Jake, he said he met with them at his Pro Day. Top 6 tight end for me in this class and a real underrated player https://t.co/r2SeaMFfor

Breeland is one of the underrated prospects in the tight end class, one that doesn’t seem to have a lot of top-end talent. The Colts will have their chances to add some talent to the tight end room early if they want or they could target a developmental prospect with upside like Breeland on Day 3.
Breeland brings some solid athleticism to the table and would be a fine pass-catching option to work in the room behind Jack Doyle and alongside Mo Alie-Cox. He didn’t have a whole lot of production, but he brings an intriguing skill set as a Day 3 pick or a priority free agent.
It will be interesting to see how the draft goes but Breeland might be a player to watch for the Colts late on Day 3.
