The Indianapolis Colts need a lot of help at cornerback, and general manager Chris Ballard moved quickly to address that need in the offseason. In addition to the brilliant signing of Charvarius Ward, he brought in Corey Ballentine from the Green Bay Packers.
Initially, Ballentine seemed like another good fit for the Colts. He had mostly been a contributor on special teams and added some much-needed depth to the position as well. According to ESPN's Stephen Holder, Ballentine wanted to compete for a role in kickoff return, and his value was in providing "experienced depth" at cornerback.
