The Indianapolis Colts selected cornerback Micah Abraham from Marshall University in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, with the 201st overall pick. Abraham, known for his ball-hawking skills, recorded 12 interceptions and 55 passes defensed during his college career. Despite concerns about his athleticism, physicality, and a low ceiling, his ability to play the ball and his football lineage, including being the son of former NFL player Donnie Abraham and cousin to former Colt Tim Jennings, make him a notable pick. This selection marks the third defensive back chosen by the Colts in a row. Colts' management highlighted his ball skills, which are expected to translate well into the NFL.
