The Indianapolis Colts have selected running back Nyheim Hines out of NC State in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, 104th overall.

Hines rushed for 1,113 yards and 12 touchdowns during his final season for the Wolfpack. He'll help create mismatches for quarterback Andrew Luck.

The diminutive back joins Marlon Mack, Robert Turbin, Christine Michael, and Matt Jones in Indianapolis' running back room.

What the analysts are saying

  • "Hines has dual-threat talent but doesn't have the size for full-time work at running back" - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "At minimum, Hines is a big play threat every time he touches the ball with the positional versatility to save a roster spot with it entirely possible that he'll achieve much more with a creative play-caller." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
