Jonathan Bostic was one of several new linebackers brought in to help fix the Colt defense. GM Chris Ballard wanted to revamp the defense in his first year as GM, and linebacker was clearly identified as an area he wanted to change.
Bostic is a relatively young player. He’s only 26, but hadn’t played in the 2016 season. The Colts are his third team in four seasons that he’s played. He has upside, which led him to be a second round pick in the 2013 draft.
How did he do in Indy though? In his first season with the Colts, he recorded a career high 97 tackles.
