Colts select DT Eric Johnson at No. 159: Instant analysis

Instant analysis of the Colts drafting DT Eric Johnson at No. 159 overall.

Kicking off their first pick on the final day of the 2022 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected Missouri State defensive tackle Eric Johnson with the No. 159 overall pick.

After a few teams traded up ahead of the Colts to take cornerbacks like Zyon McCollum, there’s a chance Indy shifted its views to adding interior defensive line depth.

Here’s a shocker. Johnson attended the Senior Bowl and showed out pretty well, so that’s likely what piqued the Colts’ interest in the first place, resulting in them bringing him in for a top-30 visit.
