Colts Sign Safety Juanyeh Thomas for Depth

0:00On March 25, the Indianapolis Colts just bolstered their safety group by signing Wanye Thomas, a 25-year-old undrafted player from Georgia Tech who spent four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. He logged 549 defensive snaps overall, including 264 last year, showing versatility across free safety, the box, and even nickel duties. Thomas stepped up bigger in Dallas before an injury cut his season short, making three starts mid-year and shining in coverage with just three targets. On 156 snaps, he held opponents to nine yards per catch, and notched four career pass breakups on 21 targets, proving his ball skills. Fans and analysts see this as a smart, low-risk move for the Colts, who need depth behind starter can buy them. Thomas brings football smarts and vocal leadership to the secondary, helping communicate on the back end and make plays when opportunities arise. Now healthy after dealing with migraines last season, he set to battle Jonathan Owens,

1:00Hunter Woller, and possible draft picks for meaningful snaps. General manager Chris Ballard is betting on the upside. Thomas flashed in Dallas to pay off in Indy. With training camp on the horizon, Thomas could carve out a real role and help shore up a position of need for the Colts as they push forward this off season.
