According to The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Indianapolis Colts are among the NFL teams that Auburn safety Smoke Monday has met with ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft:
#Auburn DB Smoke Monday has met virtually with #Colts, #Broncos, #Bears, #Ravens, #Bengals and #Buccaneers, to name a few.

Monday is one of the most physically imposing defensive backs in the 2022 #NFLDraft.
The 6’2”, 207 pound defensive back (with 32 1/2” arms) recorded 63 tackles (44 solo), 9.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, an interception (*returned for a touchdown), and 5 passes defensed during 13 starts in 2021.
Never afraid to mix it up, Monday is known as a big-hitter, who projects as an in-the-box safety/hybrid linebacker at the next level and core special teams contributor, but has some clear limitations when exposed for too long in coverage.
Right now, he projects as a late ‘Day 3’ draft pick or a priority undrafted rookie free agent signing—but could pique the Colts interest with his special teams ability, similar to Jordan Glasgow in 2020, who was a 6th round pick of Indianapolis out of Michigan:
Smoke Monday has some serious playmaking ability to go with his great name @SmokeMonday @AuburnFootball
