Alec Pierce News
The Indianapolis Colts signed second-round wide receiver Alec Pierce to his rookie deal on Monday. Pierce's deal is worth $6.6 million and includes a signing bonus around $2 million. The No. 53 overall pick in the draft out of Cincinnati was mostly used as a deep threat in college, but the 6-foot-3, 213-pounder was showcased in the red zone during rookie minicamp last weekend and could be targeted often in the red area by quarterback Matt Ryan in his first NFL season. The 22-year-old may not get a ton of targets in Indy's run-first offense, but Pierce has an opportunity to battle for a starting job opposite Michael Pittman Jr. right away. He could end up being a nice sleeper in dynasty drafts this fall.
Indianapolis Colts second-round wide receiver Alec Pierce was a featured target in the red zone during team drills at rookie camp over the weekend, and he made two eye-opening touchdown catches that showed his ability to use his long frame to his advantage. "It becomes basketball down there," Pierce said of the red zone. "You have to go up and high-point the ball, rebound the ball." The 6-foot-3 rookie pass-catcher could excel deep down the field with veteran quarterback Matt Ryan and in the end zone, but he'll probably be hard to trust on a week-to-week basis in the Colts run-first offense. Pierce is expected to compete for a starting spot opposite Michael Pittman Jr. in his first NFL season.
Indianapolis Colts second-round rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce will serve as the team's Z receiver, tasked with stretching secondaries vertically and making contested catches along the sidelines. Pierce's underneath routes and understanding of zone coverages are raw, so he's expected to stay outside with a limited route tree in his first year in the NFL. Michael Pittman will return as the X receiver, lining up in isolation often. Parris Campbell will start in the slot, but running back Nyheim Hines and the tight ends will also be options there. The Colts could use a veteran wideout, which is why re-signing T.Y Hilton or someone like Julio Jones remains a possibility. Michael Strachan and Dezmon Patmon will battle to make the final roster out of training camp.
