Cornerback Samuel Womack III was the NFL’s second-most popular waiver claim candidate as the 2024 season kicked off, netting claims from the Colts, Eagles, and Chiefs. Fast-forward to Week 6 of the regular season and he’s starting in the Indianapolis Colts’ secondary.
Womack III was a 5th-round draft pick by the San Fransisco 49ers in the 2022 NFL Draft. Despite playing just 234 regular season snaps before arriving in Indianapolis, Womack had garnered quite the buzz from NFL teams due to his disciplined tackling and promising coverage skills.
The former Rocket joined an unproven cornerback room when he arrived in Indianapolis and is already making a name for himself after five games with the team.
