Indianapolis Colts akhirnya mencatatkan nama pertama mereka dalam draft NFL 2026. Pada pilihan ke-53 secara keseluruhan, tim asal Indiana ini memilih linebacker CJ Allen dari Universitas Georgia.
Allen menghabiskan seluruh karier kuliahnya di Georgia, tampil dalam 41 pertandingan dengan 30 kali menjadi starter. Ia terpilih sebagai anggota First-Team All-SEC dan menjadi pemimpin tim dalam kategori forced fumbles, tackles, serta tackles for loss pada musim 2025. Di musim tersebut, ia mencatatkan 88 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, dua forced fumbles, serta empat passes defended.
Kemampuannya diharapkan dapat membantu mengisi posisi yang ditinggalkan oleh Zaire Franklin, yang sebelumnya diperdagangkan ke Green Bay Packers pada awal musim. Awalnya, Colts dijadwalkan untuk memilih pada posisi ke-47, namun kemudian melakukan perdagangan dengan Pittsburgh Steelers untuk turun posisi.
Pilihan ronde pertama Colts justru dialihkan ke New York Jets sebagai bagian dari kesepakatan untuk mendatangkan cornerback Sauce Gardner pada musim sebelumnya.
