INDIANAPOLIS -- T.J. Green was ready to take the practice field at his normal position of safety for the Indianapolis Colts when coach Chuck Pagano approached him with an idea about an hour before the session was scheduled to begin Tuesday afternoon.
“He asked if I wanted to play corner,” Green said.
Cornerback?
Yes, cornerback.
“I’m all for it,” Green said. “I don’t think it’s a one-day thing. I feel like I can play the position. They want me out there.”
Green has never played cornerback in a game at any level, but there he was on the practice field closing in on receivers while mixing in some first-team snaps opposite fellow cornerback Vontae Davis.
