He is a talented five-star freshman defensive back for the University of Alabama, but Caleb Downs hopes to someone day a moment like his brother had last week.
Downs’ brother, Josh, got a call from the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the NFL Draft. As a two-time first-team All-ACC honoree and two-time 1,000+ yard wide receiver for North Carolina, Downs assured the Colts it was getting the best receiver in the draft. Caleb shared an emotional embrace with his brother as the native Georgians let their actions speak on the field.
