Nate Irving Is Defensive X-Factor For Indianapolis Colts In 2015
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY SportsThe Indianapolis Colts did a wonderful job adding talent and depth to the defense this offseason. However, the team needs one of those new players to step up and fill a missing gap. Linebacker Nate Irving will battle with Jerrell Freeman for the starting middle linebacker slot beside fellow middle linebacker D’Qwell Jackson.
Competition might be one of the best things for the Colts right now. It is what has made the Seattle Seahawks great. Regardless of who wins the other middle linebacker position, both Irving and Freeman will be better because of it. Also, competition increases the quality of depth for the Colts at that position.
