The Indianapolis Colts signed the first member of their nine-player draft class by inking offensive lineman Danny Pinter to a contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Pinter, who was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of April’s draft, is projected to play as a guard after earning a First Team All-Mid-American Conference selection last year with Ball State.
Listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, Pinter began his collegiate career as a tight end before moving to right tackle after two seasons.
Pinter likely will be in backup role in Indianapolis, which boasts two-time All-Pro Quenton Nelson and Mark Glowinski as starters.
