Boettcher plays with the kind of physical energy that helps a rookie find a role quickly. The Oregon tackle production is impressive, and the Colts noticed his effort in preseason. He can develop behind veterans while helping himself on special teams.
Strengths: Tackling production, physical style, multi-sport athleticism and good early preseason energy. He has a clear nose for the football.
Weaknesses: He is a rookie adjusting to NFL speed and coverage detail. His route recognition and ability to disengage from pro linemen will decide how fast he moves up.
