Colts Sign 18 Undrafted Players

May 4th, 2017 at 1:16pm CST by Zachary Links

The Colts announced the signing of 18 undrafted players, bringing their roster to the 90-man max. Here’s the full list:

Deyshawn Bond, OG (Cincinnati)
Dalton Crossan, RB (New Hampshire)
Darrell Daniels, TE (Washington)
Trey Griffey, WR (Arizona)
Thomas Hennessy, LS (Duke):
Bug Howard, WR (North Carolina)
Jerome Lane, WR (Akron)
Chris Lyles, CB (Mississippi College)
Christopher Muller, G (Rutgers)
JoJo Natson, WR (Akron)
Reggie Porter, CB (Utah)
Brandon Radcliff, RB (Louisville)
Rigoberto Sanchez, P (Hawaii)
Garrett Sickels, OLB (Penn State)
Jhaustin Thomas, DE (Iowa State)
Jerry Ugokwe, OT (William & Mary)
P.J. Walker, QB (Temple)

Sanchez has experience in both kicking and punting. Last year at Hawaii, he averaged 44.6 yards per punt and nailed all 13 of his field goal tries. According to Stephen Holder of the Indy Star (on Twitter), Sanchez received a $12K bonus, which is rather high for a kicker.

Griffey is the son of baseball great Ken Griffey Jr. The wide receiver had 23 catches for 382 yards and two scores in his final season at Arizona.

Walker is Temple’s all-time leader in completions, passing yards, and touchdowns. In 2016, he threw for 3,295 yards with 22 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. His yardage and TD totals marked a career high.
