7th Round (via BAL): Ben Malena, RB, Texas A&M
Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports
A bit small for an NFL offense at 5’8’’, 195 pounds, Malena might not even hear his name called on draft day. Still, the Colts need some depth behind bruiser Trent Richardson, especially since Donald Brown is set to be a free agent and likely won’t be re-signed. Malena is a back with outstanding quickness and versatility, proving to be a legitimate target out of the backfield over the last two seasons. If Malena works out well, he could convince a running back-needy team like the Colts to take a late-round flier.
