The Indianapolis Colts have selected running back Jordan Wilkins out of Ole Miss with the 169th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Wilkins will compete with fourth-round pick Nyheim Hines from NC State for a role on the Colts in 2018. Indy picked up Marlon Mack in the fourth round of the draft last year, and the team has three young tailbacks it hopes will develop into reliable role players.
