INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts have selected running back Donald Brown of Connecticut in the first round of the NFL draft.
Brown was the 27th overall pick on Saturday. He started 23 of 37 games at Connecticut, rushing for 3,800 yards and 33 touchdowns.
The move gives three-time league MVP Peyton Manning more help on offense and helps fill a need after the Colts’ rushing game struggled last season. Starter Joseph Addai was nicked up much of the season, and the Colts lost the other part of their two-man tandem, Dominic Rhodes, in free agency.
