Key Facts
- REACTIONS INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard fiercely defended second-round pick Adonai Mitchell against criticisms of his character after selecting the wide receiver Friday night, calling the condemnations of the former Texas star "bulls---" during a lengthy rant.
- Mitchell, selected 52nd overall, had hoped to be selected in the first round but slid into the second round amid reports that he interviewed poorly and was a difficult player to assess.
- Mitchell also was defiant earlier Friday when speaking to Indianapolis reporters, opening his virtual interview by saying that the "only thing I'm feeling is I'm just kind of pissed.
- That's just the reality of it and my job now is to make them pay and bring the best version of me every day to the Indianapolis Colts."
