Rookie of the Year: S Khari Willis
While the rookie class for the Colts showed some promise, there weren’t a whole lot of positions that needed immediate production from the first-year players. However, Willis was at a position that needed some youthful infusion.
The fourth-round pick proved to be a solid running mate alongside Malik Hooker. He was solid in coverage and flew around the field finding the ball on almost every snap. He dealt with some injuries late in the year but eventually took over the starting safety role from Clayton Geathers.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke also gets some consideration given the second half he had, but Willis likely made the biggest impact while working in a starting role.
