The Indianapolis Colts had a pretty major hole at cornerback heading into the Denver game as starting corner Pierre Desir was not healthy enough to play. While most assumed that former second round pick Quincy Wilson would start in his place, the Colts surprised everyone by giving that job to rookie fifth rounder Marvell Tell III. Tell, a safety in his four years at USC, hadn’t played corner in a meaningful game since high school and was then thrown into action against an NFL offense. The result was better than anyone could have expected.
