After failing to live up to the expectations that come with being the 6th overall pick over his first three seasons, Barkevious Mingo bounced between the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts in a span of just under 10 months, before finally seeming to find a fit in Indianapolis in 2017. Starting strongside LB John Simon went down for the season with an injury in Week 8 and Mingo stepped into the lineup, starting six games in total.
With the Colts, Mingo had a role, or rather roles, that fit his versatile skill set for the first time in his career.
