Matt Goncalves brings depth at multiple positions on the offensive line for the Indianapolis Colts, and could even be a starter down the line.
in the 2024 NFL Draft. Goncalves, 23, is a two year starter in college with experience playing both left and right tackle. He missed a majority of last season due to injury, but should be ready for the start of camp for the Colts.
One of the highlights of Goncalves’ career was his performance against future top-40 pick Braden Fiske in 2022. Goncalves shut down the standout defensive end, limiting him to just one hurry when the two were matched up. Goncalves moved Fiske with ease in the run game and held his own as a pass protector all game long. Goncalves is at his best in the pass game, as his natural strength and positioning is a major strength in the trenches.
If the Colts can get Goncalves to play a bit lower to win the leverage game in the trenches, he can have a strong impact in this area of his game. He has the tools to be a plus player in the Colts’ run scheme.
