INDIANAPOLIS – Arguably the loudest player in the Colts’ locker room has also made plenty of noise on the field in 2016.
In his ninth NFL season, Erik Walden is turning in a career year when the Colts have needed it the most.
Desperate for someone to get to the quarterback in 2016, and finish off those precious chances, Walden has done that.
Walden’s 7.0 sacks, which he rightfully attributes to his fellow defenders for helping create those opportunities, ranks eighth in the NFL.
The biggest pusher for Walden’s Pro Bowl candidacy is fellow edge rusher Robert Mathis.
