1. Dayo crushes his sophomore season as an impactful rotational piece
Last season, Dayo Odeyingbo was not even projected to play a single snap while recovering from the injury he brought from college. However, he did rehab quickly and got time on the field.
With the addition of Yannick Ngakoue via a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, Dayo will be coming off the bench to rotate in with Ngakoue and Kwity Paye.
Last year, Dayo played in 10 games and started in none of them. He recorded one forced fumble, half a sack, and only six combined tackles.

This year, those numbers will increase as Dayo gets more significant time with the departures of other defensive linemen from the Colts roster.
Dayo is going to end up being the player on the Colts’ defensive unit that is always fresh, ready to hit the quarterback and make a big stop in the run game.
