Stock Down: S Clayton Geathers

Is this the time that Geathers begins to get phased out? After dealing with some injuries earlier in the season and with the stellar emergence of rookie Khari Willis, it appears Geathers’ time as an impact player is coming to and end.

As Willis played 91% of the defensive snaps on Sunday—and George Odum 30%—Geathers was on the field for just six plays on defense. Though he’s fully healthy (as far as we know), the Colts have made it clear they are opting to go younger at the position.

Geathers is a leader in the locker room and not a player the Colts will dismiss out of hand, but it is clear that the youngsters are taking over the secondary. That likely means Geathers is no longer a key cog in the defense.
