Despite being named a Pro Bowler in 2019, Rhodes struggled for the Vikings. It eventually led to his release in March, but the Colts are hoping for a bounce-back season from the veteran. Dealing with injuries, Rhodes allowed a 131.1 passer rating when targeted and five touchdowns, per Pro Football Focus.

The Colts are hoping Rhodes can bounce back and the fact that he will be working more in zone coverage rather than being left on an island in man coverage should help his production. It’s a risk, but the Colts are hoping Rhodes can bounce back from a strong season.
