Austin Collie

Austin Collie is now on an NFL team.

And he has big shoes to fill.

Collie, the former BYU star, has been selected by the Indianapolis Colts, who are looking to replace departed star Marvin Harrison, in the fourth round of Sunday's draft.

Collie, who was taken with the 127th overall pick, had been projected to be a middle round selection.

The Colts are a good place for Collie to land, with future Hall-Of-Fame quarterback Peyton Manning to throw him the ball and people like Reggie Wayne to take pressure off of him.

Collie will go down as one of the most prolific wide receivers in BYU history.

He's considered to have very good potential as a slot receiver, since he has good hands and runs great routes.
