Cornerback (6)
Pos. | Starter | Backup |
CB1 | Xavier Rhodes | T.J. Carrie |
CB2 | Rock Ya-Sin | Marvell Tell III |
Slot | Kenny Moore II | Isaiah Rodgers |
Analysis: There is so much versatility in this room that the positional alignments might change for several players. The veteran Rhodes was brought in on a one-year deal in free agency to work exclusively on the boundary. Ya-Sin enters Year 2 after a promising rookie campaign. He will also work exclusively outside. Moore has developed into arguably the best slot cornerback in the league. The depth of Carrie, Tell and the sixth-round pick in Rodgers will vary. After trading away Quincy Wilson during the trade, the Colts added the 5-foot-9 Rodgers. He’s solely going to work in the slot but brings impressive ball skills and menacing speed. He will also see time on special teams, which solidifies his case for a back-end roster spot. Tell and Carrie can both play inside and out.
Notable cuts: None
