Colts View Michael Pittman, Jr. As \'Vincent Jackson-Like\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 30, 2020 1:03 pm

The Indianapolis Colts didn\'t have a first-round pick last Thursday, which meant the No. 34 selection was their first.

They used the pick on Michael Pittman, Jr., who Chris Ballard said was \"Vincent Jackson-like\" in a pre-draft meeting.

\"Every time I watch him, I like him better. He\'s big, he\'s a build-up-speed guy, he can finish on the deep ball, he wins 50-50 battles. I just think the guy\'s gonna be a good football player in this league,\" Ballard said of the wide receiver.

Jackson had had six 1,000-yard seasons and five seasons with at least seven touchdowns between 2008 and 2014.
