New Indianapolis Colts linebacker Joe Bachie has been in the NFL for a while now, though his name might not be familiar to most fans. In five seasons, he has started just two games, and none since 2021. In the past three seasons, he has only played a total of 60 snaps on defense.
Yet, Bachie has been a star in Colts training camp, especially as he has been getting a lot of first-team reps since presumed starter Zaire Alexander has been out since having ankle surgery in May. Sure, practice is different from real games, but Bachie has one big aspect in his favor.
