When a new Defensive Coordinator comes to a franchise, they often want to revamp the defensive personnel to have “their guys” on the team. Colts GM Chris Ballard seems to have focused his attention this offseason in giving new DC Lou Anarumo plenty of resources to get his Defense up and running. Considering the Colts Defense under former DC Gus Bradley gave up the 3rd most points in the NFL in from 2022-2024 (28th, 28th, and 24th in Points Allowed each season), a rehaul is justified.
Prior to the draft, this revamp was already underway. Big money Free Agent additions in 2023 All Pro Corner Charvarius Ward and Safety Camryn Bynum were big splash additions to the secondary to add to the starting lineup.
