Rookies flashed

The Colts didn’t get the same type of production out of their rookie class as they did in 2018 but then again, the need wasn’t their either. Even so, Indy got some flashes of potential from the rookie class—enough to warrant optimism with some more development.

Cornerback Rock Ya-Sin and safety Khari Willis took over starting roles after the first few weeks of the season. They both had their respective head-scratching moments, but they showed plenty of promise as building blocks in the secondary.

Linebacker Bobby Okereke had a strong second half, one that would consider making him the Rookie of the Year for the team. Not all of the rookies had strong campaigns but most of them showed enough promise to be excited about the future.
