Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has expressed his belief that wide receiver Donte Moncrief has an incredibly bright future ahead of him.

The Colts selected Moncrief in the third round of the 2014 Draft, and the 21-year-old had a solid rookie year for the AFC South outfit.

Pagano is adamant that Moncrief has the ability to become a top player in the NFL due to his varied skill set.

"Moncrief has big-play ability and we saw him do that," Pagano told the club's official website. "He's going to have more opportunities going forward.

"This guy can make plays. He's big. He's fast. He can stretch the defense, all those types of things. It's a learning process, and he's going to be better in year two than he was in year one.

"He's got such a high ceiling and room for improvement. The sky's the limit for him."

Moncrief recorded 32 receptions for 444 yards and three touchdowns in the 2014 season.
