Colts select Kerwynn Williams, RB from Utah State

[Andy]

Good value here. I had him going in the 5th-6th round.

 

This is what I wrote in my guide:

 

"A good stout athlete who can play as a returner too. He is very quick and can become a good 3rd down running back"

 

Could compete with Brown for the backup job.

 

Thoughts?

[trueblueblood]

Thoughts? I had a feeling we would get one late

Yep.  A younger Karim.

[Moncrief]

Yes i like it. Quick and compact runner

[CR91]

his size, he better be fast. megget and palmer could be out of a job. can we finally have gotten the sproles ive wanted for years.

[Indyfan4life]

Thoughts?

[Coltswarriors]

Needed a RB, like it.

[Nobody]

Yeah, I called this one a while back! He was extremely impressive against Toledo in his bowl game. Super quick, great hands, return skills.

[Captain Americolt]

4.48 speed I believe

[krunk]

Now I can deal with this little fella! He's got a lot more giddy up than Ray Graham.

Just what I was looking for. Once again I can never predict who Grigs is going to pick.

Hopefully this will appease JSHIPP23. At least we did get a back like he wanted.

[PrincetonTiger]

Returner?

[BlueCollarColts]

dont know anything. but he ran for 1500+ yards and 15 TD's

[Captain Americolt]

Reminds me of Darren Sproles

[HtownColt]

Mcshay say he is the fastest running back in the draft on tape, Kiper says he's electrifying

Yep, I've had the opportunity to see Kerwynn play several times in person, this kid is a steal here, great reciever out of the backfield, and a deceptively powerful runner. He reminds me of Darren Sproles.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Sherwin Williams?! Is he a CB? Yall know we need 4 of them, right?

[LINDE]

Mcshay say he is the fastest running back in the draft, Kiper says he's electrifying

 

 

They're both right

[krunk]

I'm glad we got the running back, but now I'm mad that we lost Ty Powell to the Seahawks.

[corgi]

Looks quick. I like the pick.

[Ja'Crispy]

Looks like he's going to be a returner

[trueblueblood]

Heard kiper say he's the fastest back in the draft

[PrincetonTiger]

Nice pick

[Coltswarriors]

Todd McShay just said he is the fastest RB in the draft and could be impact player in returning kicks and can catch the ball out of the backfield.

[Malakai432]

Yep definitely see some special teams for this fella. Seems pretty darn athletic.

[PrincetonTiger]

Looks like he's going to be a returner

He should make the team as a rs

[HarassedOffTheSite]

...he reminds me of Darren Sproles.

Oh man that'd be too sweet!

[Smonroe]

Yep, I've had the opportunity to see Kerwynn play several times in person, this kid is a steal here, great reciever out of the backfield, and a deceptively powerful runner. He reminds me of Darren Sproles.

 

If he can emerge as our KR, he'll make the team as the third RB (assuming no injuries to Brown or Ballard).  I think Carter's short yardage duties will be assumed by our FB.

 

Very nice pick this late.

[LockeDown]

A smooth runner who doesn't get caught from behind.

[James]

Risers

 

Kerwynn Williams, Utah State: Williams was the most complete back on the field today and excelled in all areas. He tested well, posting a 40-yard dash time of 4.48 seconds as well as 4.15 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle. Williams showed incredible lateral movement and acceleration during drills. He was able to instantaneously change direction during ball drills without losing speed. Williams also looked great catching passes. Tipping the scale at 195 pounds, he grades as one of the better third-down backs available in April's draft.

All you can ask for in the 7th round

[Captain Americolt]

Omg if he can be our Darren Sproles I will die

 

 

 

He looks the part

[BOTT]

Too early. Why pick a guy at the bottom of the 7th when he clearly would have been there with the comp pick. Grigson has lost his mojo.

I like fast and electrifying... A twofer!

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

So fast that he looks slow. I like it, now maybe just maybe Donald Brown will get it together or get lost.

[NewColtsFan]

Nothing but good write-ups everywhere I look....

 

Good write-ups from NFL.com, from Scouts Inc at ESPN.com and from Pro Football Weekly.

 

Viewed as a 4th-5th round talent....

 

Nice for the Colts!    Job well done!

[RomanianColtsFan]

This is our Darren Sproles.

[LockeDown]

I was hoping to trade back out of the seventh round to the ....

[ClaytonC]

I like the idea of a speedy little back shooting out from behind our big new O-line!

[Moncrief]

This guy will produce with the reps he will get

[Dark Superman]

We have our very own Darren Sproles.

Man is he fast or what!
