Alec Pierce is an American professional football wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, who selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft out of the University of Cincinnati. A multi-sport athlete from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Pierce developed into a deep-threat playmaker, posting a standout senior college season with 884 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. After a solid rookie year in 2022, he enjoyed his first career 100-yard game in 2023 and continued to improve, culminating in a breakout 2025 season where he logged 1,003 receiving yards—the fewest receptions to clear that mark since DeSean Jackson in 2010. His consistent production earned him a massive four-year, $114 million contract re-signing with the Colts on March 12, 2026. Coming from a highly athletic family—with his father playing football at Northwestern and his younger brother set to play basketball at Purdue—Pierce has solidified himself as a key offensive weapon in the NFL.
