In a fascinating twist on the 2010 NFL draft, Pro Football Focus (PFF) has conducted a redraft that casts a new light on the Indianapolis Colts' original pick. Instead of selecting defensive end Jerry Hughes with their 31st overall pick, PFF projects that the Colts would have picked safety Kareem Jackson, who was originally drafted by Houston at 20th overall. Jackson's journey in the league had its ups and downs, taking a couple of years to establish himself, yet from 2012 to 2020, he became a standout performer, particularly in coverage and run support.

This redraft not only highlights Jackson’s evolution into a formidable player but also raises questions about how the Colts could have benefitted from his presence over the years. With his ability to impact the game defensively, the Colts might have shifted their defensive dynamics significantly.
