When free agency opened on March 11th, the hope was that the Indianapolis Colts would get help in the secondary. Unfortunately, free agency appears to have fallen through as the vast majority of top free agents have already been signed.
The 2024 NFL Draft is quickly approaching and yet it still remains a mystery of what the Indianapolis Colts will do when they get on the clock at pick 15 in the first round.
The Colts have a pre-draft visit set up with a tough, athletic cornerback from the Florida State Seminoles. According to Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler,
Indianapolis Colts rookie cornerback Jaylon Jones has been a first-year revelation. The No. 221 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft has played 469 defensive snaps for a young, ascending secondary that is exceeding expectations.
Stats are highly important for NFL players. As the Indianapolis Colts roster knows, they provide a way to measure success and consistency. However, since 2014, when deeper dives are required, NFL Next Gen Stats is where to turn to.
The Colts have found another diamond in the rough regarding rookie ‘Day 3’ cornerback Jaylon Jones. After being selected in the 7th round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Indianapolis Colts rookie cornerback Jaylon Jones was largely considered an afterthought entering the team’s training camp and preseason this year.
After the Indianapolis Colts cut their roster down to 53, Chris Ballard had glowing reviews for 7th-round pick Jaylon Jones. And now we have a metric proving how good he's been playing to repay those comments. To better explain the graph above, the bottom axis tracks the percentile of separation prevented by corners.
I really like what the Colts are doing with their two standout rookies this season, wide receiver Josh Downs and cornerback Jaylon Jones. Downs had a high
The Colts are initially planning on forming a cornerback platoon on the other side of new rookie starter JuJu Brents. It’s ‘next man up’ for the Indianapolis Colts again at cornerback, as in light of starter Dallis Flowers’ season-ending injury, defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will be turning to new reinforcements.
The NFL is a league of superstars and each team has a handful of players all but locked into their regular-season roles on the squad. For those that aren’t so lucky, however, training camp can be a bloodbath, with 90 players vying for just 53 roster spots.
When it comes to the seventh round of the NFL draft, no player is a sure thing. Players can be taken based on their athletic upside. Others are drafted because a team does not want to lose out on that player as an undrafted free agent.
The Indianapolis Colts' cornerback depth chart is in a weird place at the moment. A group that performed fairly well overall a season ago is set to replace Pro Bowler Stephon Gilmore and young standout Isaiah Rodgers Sr with a trio of rookies selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Just days before Colts mandatory minicamp, cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, Sr. underwent investigation for allegedly placing hundreds of sports bets. The same week, rookie safety Daniel Scott tore his ACL during OTAs, and was placed on IR Wednesday due to the season-ending injury.

Defensive backs Jaylon Jones and Antonio Johnson will speak with reporters from across the country on Thursday morning.
Jaylon Jones is going pro. Jones officially declared for the 2023 NFL Draft Sunday via social media. The Texas A&M junior cornerback still had two years of eligibility remaining following a 5-7 season in Aggieland. “Texas A&M and the 12th Man have been my rock from the time that I have arrived,” Jones wrote.
