Former Alabama TE Hale Hentges wows Colts fans with dazzling diving catch

Former Alabama tight end Hale Hentges went undrafted, but with catches like this, there’s a strong chance he’ll make the Indianapolis Colts roster.
Hentges signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Lions, and he’s in the midst of his rookie training camp.
The 6-5, 254-pounder from Jefferson City, Missouri, was used primarily as a blocking tight end with the Tide, and he may be versatile enough to play some H-back, too. Unfortunately for Hentges, the Colts have one of the deepest tight end rooms in the NFL. Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron and Mo Alie-Cox all return in 2019.
Still, with impressive plays like this, it bodes well for Hentges to make the squad. Add to that that he’s a reliable blocker, it helps his case even more.
Hentges’ catch wowed Colts fans, as shared by the IndyStar’s Clark Wade:
