The Indianapolis Colts head into the 2025-26 season with a strong starting tandem back deep defensively, though questions surround the position’s longevity based on the group currently slated to back them up.
The Colts’ defensive philosophy saw a rebrand with the transition to defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo. Anarumo’s new staff, in particular, brings an influx of experience coaching the backend.
Anarumo himself has extensive experience coaching defensive backs, but so does new Defensive Backs Coach Jerome Henderson and Passing Game Coordinator/Secondary Coach Chris Hewitt. All three come from backgrounds in coaching the defensive backfield.
