The Indianapolis Colts selected Wisconsin center Tanor Bortolini with the No. 117 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
One of the most athletic offensive linemen in the entire draft, Bortolini is a perfect pick for the Colts. They continue to add depth to the offensive line, and there's a lot of upside for Bortolini to become Ryan Kelly's successor at center.
With an impeccable combination of elite athleticism and high intelligence on the interior offensive line, Bortolini is a pick that can have long-term value. He'll be 22 during his rookie season and has the versatility to play all over the offensive line.

Bortolini measured in at 6-foot-4 and 303 pounds with 31.5-inch arms at the NFL Scouting Combine. He tested out of this world, posting a 4.94 in the 40-yard dash to go along with an incredible 4.28 in the short shuttle—a drill that has a high hit rate among successful offensive linemen.
Bortolini also broke Jason Kelce's record in the three-cone drill at 7.16 seconds.
