The Indianapolis Colts have had a long track record of finding undrafted free agents over the years. They currently have the longest streak of having at least one undrafted free agent make the initial 53-man roster going into the season at 21 consecutive seasons.
With the offseason program being completely flipped on its heels, this season will be very tough for an undrafted free agent to make the Colts’ roster. There have been no organized team activities, or mini-camps, and those workouts are primarily used for undrafted free agents to make a name for themselves.
Now, with training camp being very limited in terms of on-field activity, and without any preseason games, plus it looks unlikely the Colts will have any scrimmage games with another team, it’s a long shot an undrafted free agent makes this roster.
But, the undrafted free agents have a chance, and here are a few that could make the Colts initial 53-man roster and continue the streak the Colts have held over the years:
DE Kendall Coleman
The defensive lineman out of Syracuse has a ways to go, but he’s got a chance. Coleman was a UDFA from Syracuse, and not many fans know his name, but they should.
Coleman has a long history with Colts legendary pass rusher Robert Mathis to the point where the duo have been working together. Suffice it to say, Coleman has impressed Mathis.
Coleman will be in a deep camp battle as he’ll be fighting for backup snaps with Al-Quadin Muhammad, Ben Banogu, and Tyquan Lewis. Depending on how many defensive ends the Colts keep, Coleman could sneak on the roster come September.
