Colts add Payton McCollum to coaching staff

The Colts added Payton McCollum to the coaching staff.

The Indianapolis Colts added Payton McCollum to the coaching staff under Shane Steichen, taking on the role of defensive assistant, according to the team’s website.

While the majority of coaching hires were announced by the team earlier in the offseason, this addition came without an announcement (h/t @FanOfNuance).

McCollum has spent the majority of his coaching career at the collegiate level. However, he did spend two seasons with the Detroit Lions (2016-2017) working as a coaching assistant.

Colts new offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter was the offensive coordinator of the Lions for those two seasons.

Here’s the rest of McCollum’s coaching history at the collegiate level:

2022 Eastern Michigan Offensive Analyst
2020-2021 Washington Quarterbacks Coach
2019 North Carolina Central Wide Receivers Coach
2018 North Carolina Offensive Analyst
