Colts select Wisconsin, Linebacker, Hunter Wohler with 232nd pick in 2025 NFL Draft

Indianapolis adds another piece to their defense

The Indianapolis Colts added to their draft haul in the seventh round on Saturday by adding Linebacker, Hunter Wohler, Wisconsin

This is a very interesting pick for the Colts with their final selection of the 2025 NFL Draft. For the second year in a row the Colts have selected a college safety with the intent of converting him to linebacker. Here’s what Lance Zierlein had to say about Wohler before the draft:

Two-year starting safety whose activity level reaches beyond what his athletic capabilities can handle at times. Wohler spent much of his time as an add-on run defender who rushed in to be part of the action. He’s a run-and-hit tackler in space but a lack of burst and top-end speed causes him to lose pursuit angles and miss out on tackles. He can cover tight ends but doesn’t have the range to play over the top or the open-field athleticism to survive against NFL receivers in space. Special teams play could be the key to Wohler maintaining a roster spot as an NFL backup at strong safety.

When considering a position switch his relative athletic score is really good:

If all goes according to plan for Wohler and the Colts he will likely fill in on special teams while he learns the pro game before moving into a larger role in the future. I also feel like I need to point out that there is a very real chance this will be Chris Ballard’s last draft pick as the general manager of the Indianapolis Colts so it makes perfect sense he would want his last pick to be from his Alma Mater. A fitting dart throw, on a fitting player, from a fitting school.

And with that Colts fans, the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books for the Colts. Thank you for hanging with us for all seven rounds!
