The Colts announced on Friday that they have added a 22-man class of undrafted free agents. Here is the full list of their signings:
- RB Max Borghi, Washington State
- QB Jack Coan, Notre Dame
- WR Kekoa Crawford, California
- S Marcel Dabo, International Pathway Program (story)
- S Trevor Denbow, SMU
- LB JoJo Domann, Nebraska
- WR Ethan Ferrea, UCLA
- CB Dallis Flowers, Pittsburgh State
- C Wesley French, Western Michigan
- C Alex Mollette, Marshall
- WR Samson Nacua, BYU
- DL Scott Patchan, Colorado State
- RB D’Vonte Price, Florida International
- LB Forrest Rhyne, Villanova
- G Josh Seltzner, Wisconsin
- LB James Skalski, Clemson
- OT Ryan Van Demark, UCONN
- RB C.J. Verdell, Oregon
- LB Sterling Weatherford, Miami (OH.)
- DL Cullen Wick, Tulsa
- DT McKinley Williams III, Syracuse
- WR Michael Young Jr., Cincinnati
The name on that list with the largest financial commitment from the team is Van Demark. He is receiving $175K in guaranteed money, per PFF’s Doug Kyed (Twitter link). At six-foot-seven and 304 pounds, he has NFL-caliber size, and will have a chance to round out the team’s tackle depth chart, which has seen a number of changes this offseason, including the selection of Bernhard Raimann and the recent signing of veteran Dennis Kelly.
Another notable name is Coan. The former Golden Domer is getting a base salary which includes $55K in guaranteed money, along with a $5K signing bonus, as detailed (on Twitter) by Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson. A transfer from Wisconsin this past season, Coan put up new career highs in passing yards (3,150) and touchdowns (27 total) at Notre Dame. He will try to unseat at least one of Sam Ehlinger or James Morgan at the bottom of the Colts’ QB depth chart.
Why did the Colts even bother with the DRAFT??
