INDIANAPOLIS -- Rashaan Melvin wasn’t supposed to be in this position.
Not after failing to receive any NCAA Division I football scholarship offers coming out of high school. Not with the countless injuries that the Indianapolis Colts cornerback still remembers as if they occurred yesterday. Not with a former back-to-back Pro Bowler and a 2017 second-round pick expected to be the Colts' top cornerbacks this season.
But here Melvin, a quiet yet confident player, stands as the Colts’ No. 1 cornerback, while Vontae Davis was released two weeks ago and Quincy Wilson has either been injured or in the coaches’ doghouse most of his rookie season.
