Colts sign OLB Josh McNary

[HtownColt]

Colts signed OLB Josh McNary.

McNary is Army’s all-time leader in sacks, but a two-year commitment to the Army prevented a team from drafting him in 2011. A strong showing at last week's Super Regional Combine earned him a chance with the Colts. He's a long-shot for a roster spot. Apr 10 - 4:55 PM

6'0" 235 runs a 4.65 40.

[PrincetonTiger]

not bad but a little small for a 3-4 OLB

[arkana04]

no chance he makes the team 

 

inb4 he's the next jerell freeman.

no chance you are in any position to make a statement like that.

[HtownColt]

found this on youtube it was posted a month ago while he was training for the regional combine.

They have him listed at MLB 6'0 250lbs 4.64 40time, guess his training staff feels his best bet is MLB. Grigson might be hoping to find another Jerell Freeman

[Nobody]

I really like the signing!

[james_zeigler1994]

Not really too small James Harrison is only 6ft tall and he will more than likely be in the Hall Of Fame.

0 risk signing... no complaints here.   

[HtownColt]

He is from Houston so he has my vote to take Moise Fokou vacant spot

[Nobody]

We've seen how effective a MLB who can blitz is in the 3-4 with Daryl Washington.

[evilleseniorfan]

GO VET.  WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU.

[CS Colts Fan]

Grigs being Grigs... luv the find and signing

[BrentMc11]

Bring on an Army mentality.....My D-Day Pops loves it....so do I  Good luck, Sir!!    

[MTC]

I hope he pans out. Low risk-high reward deal.

[In Luck We Trust]

wait a minute everyone says he is small at 6' 250???

 

Robert Mathis - 6'2 - 245lbs

 

Jerry Hughes - 6'2 254 lbs

 

Erik Walden - 6'2 - 250 lbs

 

Jake Killeen - 6'4 - 240 lbs

 

Justin Hickman - 6'2 - 258 lbs

 

 

 

i would say he is at a pretty avg size for OUR OLB's who play in a 3-4 and have going on two years now. 

[HtownColt]

recording 28 sacks and 49 tackles for loss. He was super-quick off the snap, had a variety of pass-rush moves and, as they say, a non-stop motor at his time with the Army

[NewEra]

He could probably play ilb or olb.

[TKnight24]

Went from the NFL, to the CFL, to signing our Nation's heroes? Grigson........ you are truly something my friend

Good signing!

[TKnight24]

Explains why he's good. It's that inner Texas in him

No rock unturned. He wasn't joking when he came in and talked about rolling up his sleeves and going to work. Love that he is constantly trying to improve the team.

Yeah. And you'd think he was in Draft mode. Nope, he still making moves. This makes me believe that he did take a look at McClain (signed with Ravens) but didn't like what he saw so he went elsewhere

True, you got a point there! Grigson is awesome! What a good move to bring him in.

[buccolts]

I know it won't be on the same scale as last year, but it'll be odd, after so long of the same ol', same ol', to have soooooo many new faces, and new schemes two years in a row.

 

It'll almost be like a new team AGAIN.

Not knowing what to expect.

Well, offense are the only ones with a new trick lol. But I get what you're saying. Makes it more exciting imo

HOOAH!!!

[Colts_Fan12]

So are you guys thinking he could play ILB with Freeman?

[HtownColt]

He has to make the team first in the preseason. If he does I think he could be a rotational guy like Fokou was. Really don't know where Pagano wants to play him either MLB or OLB. Have to figure that out in minicamp

Ok yeah I just didn't know if he had potential at ILB

[pacolts56]

We'll see if he ever starts or not.

 

But he could be a special teams guy too....its not like we're all set with those units, right?

[HtownColt]

Ok yeah I just didn't know if he had potential at ILB

It's just his training video from this past month says MLB and 250lbs, he played his entire career at OLB and a little over 230lbs. Frankly I don't think nobody knows his official weight yet, or whether he will play MLB or OLB

Ok thanks for the info just haven't followed many college ayers so I ask about alot of them lol there are alot of ppl here that have high IQs about ppl in all rounds of the draft and I wouldn't know anything about ppl from army

I'm pretty sure everybody was in the same boat when we signed this guy lol. Only somebody who follows Army football would know him. And apparently he is very good rushing the passer(28 sacks and 49 tackles for loss in his time there)

[21isSuperman]

I like the signing.  It certainly can't hurt in any way

[PrincetonTiger]

agreed

[Crazycoltsfan12]

Do u think he'll start?????????????????? cause I hope so

[Colts_Fan12]

Sounds good to me I trust Grigson lol

[CR91]

if you can play grigs will find you, but guys lets calm down and wait til preseason
