The Indianapolis Colts trimmed their roster down to 53 players in preparation for their Week 1 matchup against Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, and one of the more surprising names on the list of players that made the cut was defensive tackle Chris Williams, who spent last year on the practice squad.
The Colts could’ve picked someone with more NFL experience to serve as a backup for Grover Stewart and DeForest Buckner, but Frank Reich and Matt Eberflus decided to roll with Williams, a player from a school in Wagner that has just four NFL players to their name and two who have played multiple seasons in the league.
