With his selection in the 2017 NFL Draft by an orangutan at the Indianapolis zoo, newest Colt Zach Banner was the talk of Twitter in the fourth round.
Zach Banner became the third Trojan off the board in the 2017 NFL Draft as the Indianapolis Colts selected the big offensive lineman in the fourth round with the No. 137 pick overall.
Given his size, namesake and the nature of his selection, it’s no surprise Banner had plenty of attention go his way.
Here’s the best of the social media reaction to Banner’s selection by the Colts:
Blessed to be a Colt!!! Let's get to work. https://t.co/Aoo4jZxCxL

Indianapolis Colts draft Zach Banner to play... guard? So much for it being a game of leverage.
— Gerard Martinez (@gmartlive) April 29, 2017
Colts always need o-line help. Banner will need some development before he's able to protect Luck, but there's room for growth. https://t.co/bilwumZFWW

Zach Banner, known to chide reporters for wearing blue to USC practices, will now himself wear ... blue. He's the Colts' fourth round pick.

Zach Banner said Colts will leave him at OT. Not surprised by coming to Indy. Chris Ballard, Joe Philbin came for private workouts

Zach Banner is the largest human I've ever met. Equally big personality. Needs to get/stay in best shape of his life to have long NFL career

Zach Banner is a giant of a man. #Colts try to give Andrew Luck some protection. Lumbering feet though. Has to clean that up.#NFL #NFLDraft

When the Colts picked him in the fourth round, Banner became the 499th draft pick out of USC ever but as Day 3 of the draft continues, that number should only rise.
