Anonymous Colts' defenders making impact at the best possible time

After the 2025 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts appeared set at cornerback. General manager Chris Ballard had opened the checkbook to acquire Charvarius Ward, one year removed from an All-Pro season in 2023. He would pair on the perimeter with Jaylon Jones.

Veteran Kenny Moore was in the slot, while third-round draft pick Justin Walley would immediately challenge the older players for a spot.

Things were a bit murkier after the top four, but there certainly was talent. Hopefully, 2023 second-round pick JuJu Brents would be healthy enough to contribute on the perimeter. Samuel Womack had shown some promise as an emergency fill-in in 2024, and Corey Ballentine was also on board.
