Report: Colts hosted Kansas OL Bryce Cabeldue on a Top 30 Visit

A projected Day 3 offensive line prospect met with the Colts ahead of the NFL Draft.

The Indianapolis Colts met with Kansas OL Bryce Cabeldue for an official Top 30 visit ahead of the NFL Draft, per draft insider Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda. According to Pauline, the Colts are one of a few teams (Chiefs, Seahawks) to schedule a pre-draft visit with the Kansas offensive lineman.

Although Cabeldue played primarily at tackle in college, he projects as a guard at the next level. Typically the jump for tackles from college to the NFL is one of the hardest transitions among any position, particularly due to the insufficient athleticism of most prospects, therefore the rate at which tackles who remain tackles is far lower than those who kick inside to the interior. Bryce Cabeldue falls under the latter, though it’s not due to his lack of athleticism.

After getting turned down from participating at the NFL Scouting Combine, Cabeldue proved his athletic chops were up to standard during the Big 12 Pro Day. Here he posted the following measurements and testing numbers:

This Pro Day showing from Cabeldue not only proves that he is athletic enough to play at the next level but showcases his ability to make the transition as a tweener who can play at both the interior and exterior of the offensive line. Cabeldue’s natural power as a blocker also excites the prospect of moving him to guard full-time, given his mauling tendencies in the run game would fit what the Colts like to do offensively.

Bryce Cabeldue is a projected Day 3 (rounds 4-7) draft selection, but the interest from the Colts has been there since the beginning. Although Indy may just be doing their due diligence, don’t count out a late-round draft selection or a UDFA priority signing once the draft nears its end.
