Isaiah Rodgers | CB | Round 6, Pick 211
In what was a very busy sixth-round for the Colts, the first of their three straight selections, Indianapolis took cornerback, and return ace out of UMass, Isaiah Rodgers.
At 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, Rodgers is not the prototypical corner that Ballard drafts. But, he provides a unique trait that not many corners possess, elite ball skills. In his senior season, Rodgers had four interceptions, 10 pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery, and was All-American First-Team kick returner.
Rodgers will make the move to slot corner in sub-packages, but currently Kenny Moore has that starter spot locked down, and Rodgers will have to battle with newly signed T.J. Carrie for the backup spot. What gives Rodgers the advantage is he can be a returner, while Carrie doesn’t play much special teams.
