The Colts’ struggles along the offensive line have been a major storyline in Indianapolis over the past few years, and Chris Ballard attempted to address those issues this offseason. Ballard especially spent a lot of resources on the guard position signing free agent Matt Slauson, drafting Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith, and re-signing Jack Mewhort.
Mewhort was an extremely solid lineman during his first two NFL seasons after being drafted by the Colts in the second round of the 2014 Draft. He played well in 2016 as well, but he battled through injuries and only played in 10 games.
