The Indianapolis Colts saw most of their heavy-snap count defenders either retire or head to another team this offseason. As Kelly mentions in his breakdown of the most noteworthy training camp battles, the Colts needed to replace over half of their defensive snaps (5,100-of-11,834) -- they accomplished this, in part, by bringing in all the Buckeyes that they could.
Jack Mewhort is the sole OSU alum returning to the team, with offseason additions, including Johnathan Hankins, John Simon, Tyvis Powell and rookie Malik Hooker. With five former Ohio State stars on the Colts defense, it may currently seem a bit curious, but the unit could be among the best in the league before too long.
