Colts' Safety Spot: Hunter Wohler's Big Chance

0:00On April 6, the Indianapolis Colts are heading into the NFL draft without a clear starting strong safety after losing Nick Cross, their starter for. The past two seasons to the Washington Commanders in Free Agency. Cross signed a two-year, $13 million deal there, and the Colts didn't fight hard to keep him, letting him walk without much drama. He was a tackling beast, racking up 266 stops, 11 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks over 34 starts, plus. Four picks and 10 passes defended, though coverage was his weak spot. Now all eyes are on Hunter Wooler, their 2025 seventh round pick, a 6 foot 2, 213 pound safety who flashed. Big and training came last year with two picks off Lamar Jackson in practice and nine tackles in preseason before at least Franck injury sideline his, rookie year. His box tackling style mirrors Cross, so the Colts are betting on this young gun to step up, but until they grab a vet in the draft or free agency.
