Clayton Geathers wasn’t at the level where he was ready to replace veterans Dwight Lowery or Mike Adams in the starting lineup at safety as a rookie last season. But Geathers was too good to leave on the sideline all season on a defense that wasn’t very good. So the Colts used him as a dime or fifth linebacker because he’s athletic enough to play up in the box and defend tight ends in pass coverage.
@MikeWellsNFL What are your thoughts of having Clayton Geathers move into a LB role like Mark Barron or Deone Buchanon?
