Indianapolis Colts 53-man roster projection after win against Vikings
By Mike Luciano
Linebackers (5)
Darius Leonard, Bobby Okereke, Zaire Franklin, EJ Speed, Malik Jefferson
Leonard and Okereke are the starters, and with the Stanford product ready to take the next step alongside one of the best players at his position in the sport in the South Carolina State alum, the duo should be in for a marvelous season.
With how often Indy deploys nickel and dime sets, they can afford to only carry five linebackers. While names like Jordan Glasgow will make things tough, this is the best alignment.
Franklin is a solid backup, Speed has potential, and Jefferson might finally put it all together. There are no glaring holes here … yet.
