CB T.J. Carrie
One of the biggest reasons the Colts feel their defense struggled during the final quarter of the 2019 season was because they didn’t have depth in the slot behind starter Kenny Moore. After going down with an ankle injury, Moore wasn’t able to play in the final five games of the campaign.
So as the Colts were making changes to their cornerback room, they made one to bring in a versatile veteran in Carrie, who can play both inside and on the boundary. Carrie will be competing for the depth slot role in the secondary but has some intriguing competition in rookie Isaiah Rodgers.
The sixth-round pick out of UMass has reported 4.28 speed with strong ball skills and plenty of experience on special teams. That screams depth role in the secondary, especially as a rookie.
Carrie and Rodgers will have one of the low-key battles to watch whenever the Colts are able to return for workouts. Though he has the veteran experience, Carrie could be in danger of losing his role as the backup slot defender.
