An opportunity for a breakout campaign is destined for the hometown Colt.

JuJu Brents can become the shutdown cornerback to salvage the Colts secondary and shadow an opponents’ best receiver. Last April, NFL scouts clamored over his 6-foot-3 frame and 82u215e-inch wingspan, the longest wingspan ever recorded at his position in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. After securing franchise quarterback Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, Indianapolis selected Brents with the No. 44 pick in the second round.

The Indianapolis native played nine games during his rookie season and compiled 43 tackles, with six passes defended and one forced fumble.
