The Colts selected Marshall cornerback Micah Abraham in the sixth round (No. 201 overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft on Saturday.
The 5-foot-10, 185 pound Abraham appeared in 62 games (46 starts) for Marshall over the last five years. He finished his college career with 12 interceptions, 150 tackles, 43 pass break-ups, one forced fumble and 2.5 tackles for a loss with the Thundering Herd.
Ten of Abraham's 12 interceptions came in the last two seasons, and he earned First-Team All-Sun Belt Conference honors in both 2022 and 2023. He held opposing quarterbacks to a 75.4 passer rating when targeting him in coverage in 2023, per Pro Football Focus.
Abraham is a native of Tampa, Fla. and ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at Marshall's pro day earlier this year. His father, Donnie, played nine seasons in the NFL (1996-2004) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets, and was a Pro Bowler in 2000.
