Alec Pierce

The Indianapolis Colts announced Monday that they have signed their 2022 2nd round pick, WR Alec Pierce to a rookie contract

Fantasy Impact

Pierce had an early breakout age at Cincinnati and was a big contributor to the Bearcats’ College Football Playoff run in 2021. In his last season at Cincinnati, Pierce recorded 884 receiving yards and 8 TDs while functioning as a large and fast downfield threat. Pierce will compete with the often injured Paris Campbell and Ashton Dulin for a starting WR spot and the opportunity to play alongside WR Michael Pittman. The Colts acquired veteran QB Matt Ryan this offseason in hopes of elevating a passing attack to better compliment the team's strong running game, and Pierce’s early development may play a key role in making that vision a reality.

The Indianapolis Colts have selected WR Alec Pierce with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
