## Resource

Alec Pierce just signed the richest wide receiver contract ever, a four-year, $114 million deal with the Colts, and while many fans outside Indy are surprised, Bleacher Report calls him the second most underrated WR in the league — right behind Michael Wilson. Standing 6’3”, weighing 211 lbs, and clocking a 4.33 40-yard dash, Pierce combines size, speed, and elite hands to dominate downfield. He’s already led the NFL in yards per catch for two years and just hit his first 1,000-yard season. With Daniel Jones back under center and other receivers gone, Pierce is poised to become the Colts’ No. 1 target. He’s recovering from ankle surgery but expected back this summer — and if he stays healthy, he could leap from top-20 to top-10 receiver this season, finally earning his due.
