INDIANPOLIS -- And the list of players from the Indianapolis Colts’ 2013 draft class is down to one.
The list shrunk again when the Colts waived center Khaled Holmes, their fourth-round pick that year, on Monday. Guard Hugh Thornton, who was picked in the third round, is the lone holdover from that group.
The release of Holmes isn’t surprising after the Colts used their first-round pick to select Alabama’s Ryan Kelly and selected Austin Blythe in the seventh round last week.
What should be noted about Holmes' release, though, is that just two years ago general manager Ryan Grigson referred to the former USC product as the “center of the future” at the conclusion of the 2014 draft.
