Depth Chart: Secondary and Special Teams

CB1: Vontae Davis, Nate Hairston

CB2: Quincy Wilson, Justin Gibbons

Nickel: Darius Butler

FS: Malik Hooker, Darius Butler

SS: Clayton Geathers, T.J. Green

My surprise selection here is Justin Gibbons, a 6-5, undrafted free agent from Aurora University in Chicago. He is a small-school guy with big potential.

LS: Thomas Hennessy

KR: Quan Bray, JoJo Natson

PR: JoJo Natson

K: Adam Vinatieri

P: Rigoberto Sanchez

Jeff Locke is also in the mix at punter, although I have Rigoberto winning the job. As you see, Natson did indeed make it on board, at least for now.

The roster is essentially wide-open this year as nearly half of the starters will be first-year Colts. The coaching staff will have their hands full as they too learn the names, faces, and numbers of the 2017 Indianapolis Colts. If the pieces fall into place accordingly, the Colts should be much improved.
