Insider: Colts might have found 'exactly what we're looking for' in veteran safety Tavon Wilson

INDIANAPOLIS — Under the leadership of Chris Ballard, the Colts have always believed they can find good players at any point in the NFL calendar, even in the days after training camp begins and rosters are at their maximum capacity.

They might have already found a gem this August.

Former Patriots and Lions safety Tavon Wilson, who landed a deal in Indianapolis less than two weeks ago, has been a consistent playmaker in training camp: active and physical in run support, one of two players to intercept Philip Rivers in practice so far, bringing energy, a little trash talk and leadership to a young Colts safety group.
