The Indianapolis Colts selected Oregon State wide receiver Anthony Gould with the No. 142 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Using this fifth-round pick as a part of the second-round trade with the Carolina Panthers, the Colts added more depth to the wide receiver room.
After taking Adonai Mitchell in the second round, the Colts come back around to begin the fifth round with another pick at wide receiver.

At 5-foot-8 and 174 pounds, Gould was a fifth-year senior for the Beavers. He ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash and added a 39.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-9-inch broad jump.
During his two years as a starter at Oregon State, Gould worked almost exclusively outside during the 2023 season. He posted 44 receptions for 718 yards and two touchdowns during his final collegiate season.
Gould is a true burner with track speed as a vertical threat. He's likely more of a gadget player on offense. His major impact will come on special teams where he averaged 16.4 yards per punt return in his career. In 2022, he led the FBS with 18.3 yards per punt return.
With the new rules on NFL kickoffs, this could wind up being a pick that has some intriguing value on special teams.
