LB Bobby Okereke is a star in the making for Colts’ defense

He might not be a ‘household name’— yet, but Bobby Okereke is quickly becoming a star for the Colts’ defense.

The former third-round pick out of Stanford has been quite a find by GM Chris Ballard. Okereke has increasingly seen more playing time, staring a minimum of eight games in each of his first two seasons.

With the departure of former linebacker Anthony Walker (signed with the Cleveland Browns during the offseason), the expectation is for Okereke to slide in at the MIKE linebacker spot. Additionally, Okereke’s production began to rise as the he saw more playing time.
