The Indianapolis Colts continue working through the 2026 NFL Draft class. Ahead of the big event kicking off in under three weeks. <\/p>\n

Some of the team\u2019s in-person draft visits have already been reported. They are up to 12 confirmed at this time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of whom is a player with a proven track record of winning. With him reaching the mountain top at both the high school and college levels. <\/p>\n

Colts set to host Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller for a Top-30 visit ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n

The Colts are bringing in Georgia Bulldog defensive tackle Christen Miller<\/a> in for a pre-draft visit. Miller was a four-star high school recruit out of Georgia who helped lead his school to two state championships. <\/p>\n

He got to continue feeling the rush of winning big during his true freshman season at Georgia. The Bulldogs went on to be crowned national champions in 2022. Miller appeared in only four games but worked his way into a key role with the team in 2023.<\/p>\n

He played 39 games in the following three years, recording four sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 64 total tackles. Many now expect him to hear his name called on day two of the draft.<\/p>\n

Christen Miller\u2019s fit with the Colts<\/p>\n

The C0lts defensive tackle room may seem pretty set on paper with DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart as the starters. As well as multiple viable reserves behind them. Buckner\u2019s neck injury<\/a> does make things a bit more complicated<\/a>, though. <\/p>\n

To land Miller, the Colts would most likely have to use a second or third round pick on the defensive tackle. That may be a bit too rich for the state of their roster. The team has much more glaring needs than a defensive tackle that would be a bench player at best in 2026. <\/p>\n

Miller already has a solid foundation as a run-stopper and has the potential to be a better pass-rusher at the pro level. It\u2019s never a bad thing to add a proven winner like Miller, but at this time, I expect the Colts to go in a different direction with their early picks in the draft. <\/p>\n
