Interior pass rush is a big need

The Colts got a pleasant surprise from veteran Justin Houston, who recorded 11.0 sacks in 2019—the most since his career year in 2014. They also saw some flashes from Kemoko Turay before his season-ending injury and some production from rookie Ben Banogu.

But the interior defensive line needs some major work. While it was nice to see Grover Stewart take a big step forward, the Colts got almost nothing out of veterans Denico Autry and Margus Hunt. Autry recorded two sacks in Week 2 and had nothing since. Hunt didn’t record a single sack. Then there’s the matter of Tyquan Lewis, who simply can’t get healthy enough to make an impact.

While the quarterback position is the flashiest need for the Colts this offseason, the 2019 campaign showed there are major issues along the interior defensive line.
