AUSTIN, Texas — Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is now a Colt.
Mitchell was selected 52nd overall by the Indianapolis Colts on Friday night in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, a bit later than it was initially believed he would be picked.
Despite spending only one season at Texas, Mitchell became one of the nation's best receivers in 2023, racking up 55 catches for 845 yards and 11 touchdowns and becoming Quinn Ewers' most trusted target during the Longhorns' 12-2 season.
Mitchell entered the 2023 season as a projected mid-round pick, but his great 2023 season, paired with an impressive performance at the 2024 scouting combine, vaulted him into the first round conversation.
Mitchell will now head to the Colts, a team that prioritized adding receiver depth this draft to develop with second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson.
