Report: Colts recently had virtual pre-draft meeting with Virginia Tech WR Da’Quan Felton

The Colts brought in an intriguing ‘height-speed’ later round receiver prospect that has some potential upside.

According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Indianapolis Colts recently held a virtual pre-draft meeting with Virginia Tech wide receiver Da’Quan Felton:

The 6’5,” 213 pound (32 1/4” arms) senior wideout recorded 32 receptions for 360 total receiving yards (11.3 ypr. avg.) and 2 touchdown receptions during 12 starts in 2024.

Here’s his NFL.com draft profile:

Overview

Height, weight, speed prospect whose production suffered from scheme fit and quarterback play in 2024. Felton is a linear mover who needs to be used with a heavier dose of vertical routes to be effective. He’s a nonchalant route runner underneath with below-average hands and run-after-catch talent. While his ball-tracking fails to stand out, he can out-stride and uncover against wide corners looking to run with his post and go routes. The 2024 production was disappointing, but there will be teams ready to believe in the speed and measurables with the hope he can become a rotational option to take the top off of coverages.

Felton is projected to be a late ‘Day 3’ pick, but the height-speed combo is intriguing as a later round prospect, who may also be able to immediately contribute on special teams.
