The Indianapolis Colts selected Oregon State wide receiver Anthony Gould with the 142nd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Gould, known for his speed and return skills, has been highlighted for his ability to contribute significantly in punt returns, evidenced by his two punt return touchdowns in 2022 and an average of 16.1 yards per return in 2023. His performance metrics include a notable 4.39-second 40-yard dash time and an 8.87 Relative Athletic Score (RAS). Throughout his college career, Gould amassed 84 receptions, 1,360 yards, and six touchdowns. Notably, almost 40% of his catches in 2023 went for 15+ yards, and he scored a punt return touchdown in the ShrineBowl game. His selection is considered strategic, especially with the new NFL kickoff rules approaching.

Anthony Gould is my WR23. Speedster who can get deep quickly. Good hand and catch technique. Great angle knowledge. One trick pony. Won't work through contact. Thin and struggles vs. physical safeties. More speed for the #Colts #HallamAnalysis
