Canadian receiver Justin McInnis attended the Indianapolis Colts rookie mini-camp from May 3-5, but did not receive a contract offer at its conclusion.

The six-foot-four, 212-pounder was selected in the first round, sixth overall by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 2019 CFL draft.

McInnis finished his NCAA career with back-to-back productive seasons. He caught 49 balls for 800 yards and four touchdowns in 2017 and followed with 61 grabs for 748 yards and five touchdowns as a senior. Over the last 25 games as a Red Wolf, McInnis put up 110 catches for 1,548 yards and 10 touchdowns.

There is still one more chance for McInnis to earn an NFL contract when he attends the Tennessee Titans rookie mini-camp from May 10-12.
