Gerri Green was drafted in the sixth round last week. He is a defensive end out of Mississippi State. The Colts are trying to build depth along the defensive line, so bringing him in helps out with that. But Green isn’t just a depth guy. They think he can contribute.
A big reason why they think that is because of his technique. Green is very quick with his hands and knows how to use leverage well. Those are two key things you need to have when playing defensive end. He also is quick, another trait you need.
Green is added to a suddenly very crowded defensive front.
