Description
The Indianapolis Colts linebacker position is a young and inexperienced group, with six players under contract. Last season, Zaire Franklin and Germaine Pratt led the corps, but Pratts arrival mid-season was crucial due to the struggles of the position earlier in the year. The linebackers lacked speed in coverage and depth, leaving the unit vulnerable. General Manager Chris Ballard hinted at the need for upgrades, suggesting the Colts will target speed and depth in free agency and the draft to strengthen their defense and push for playoffs next season.
