The unofficial, official UDFA thread

[Qcolts]

Really happy about the Maggit and Ferguson signings. Ferguson reminds me of Gio Bernard. Maggit is a steal in the 8th round!

[Archer]

Wasn't Maggitt the guy who punched out the teammate for helping the rape victim in that sex scandal?  Great pick-up...

[JR Indy]

After watching that video on Josh Ferguson, He puts me in the mind of Barry Sanders.  I can't wait to see this guy run behind a good o-line in the pre-season.  NOTE: I AM NOT CALLING HIM BARRY SANDERS, I WAS JUST SAYING HE PUTS ME IN THE MIND OF BARRY SANDERS in that video posted here.

[Mr.Debonair]

I hate when my Colts don't draft any of my Hurricanes lol

[stitches]

We got Drew Ott??

 

Damn, that's a nice signing if true. His stats(got injured in his 6th game this season and has been in limbo with NCAA not granting him eligibility for next season):

 

Defense	G	Solo	Asst.	Total	Sacks/Yds	TFL/Yards	FF	FR	P Def	Int/Yds
2012	5	1	2	3	--	--	--	--	1	--

2015	6	8	3	11	5 / 50	7.5 / 57	3	--	--	--
TOTAL	37	57	64	121	15.5 / 96	26 / 122	5	--	3	1 / -1

[BlueCollarColts]

So Maggitt had 13.5 sacks his junior year in the SEC, and now he's an UDFA? What's the deal with that?
 

I know he had an injury that forced him to miss most of his senior season which probably played a role, but is there anything else? Off the field issues with him?

 

Also looking at our current RB's, I think Josh Ferguson definitely has a shot at getting the #2 role behind Gore.

Some sex scandal with rape and intimidation in Tennessee it seems ... also... tore his ACL!

[jchandler7]

Ferguson was ranked the 10th best RB in the draft and should make the roster as the scat back Irsay was talking about the team needing a month or do ago,  very quick,  shifty rb, very good pickup. And if Maggit can return to full health by training camp he should really turn some heads and be an absolute steal,  he was a beast in 2014. Love these 2 signings! 

[BlueCollarColts]

Doing some research on Maggitt he looks like a really good prospect, definitely more talented than even some of the kids we drafted. But he HAS to keep his head on straight, he has all the talent in the world to be a starter in this league but he needs to stay focused and work hard. 

[Lawrence Owen]

RB

JOSH FERGUSON

ILLINOIS  BIG TEN

Good little scat back change of pacer.  2 issues:

1: anyone gets a hand on him..he's done.

2: he fumbles.  7 fumbles in 2014.

he fixes fumble issues and he could be a great 3rd and long RB.

Injuries and off the field problems. There was talks of him being a 1st or 2nd rounder before his issues.

[Bluefire4]

Grigson mentioned that they agonized over not drafting a guy that they later got as a CFA. I think they were talking about Ron Thompson as they gave him a $5,000 bonus.

His inability to stay healthy is the only reason he went undrafted.     If (big if) he can stay healthy, I think he will be a steal.  

 

His involvement in the harassment of Drae Bowles probably played a major factor as well.    I'm not sure where that whole situation sits now

Drew Ott is another one(seems like 'official'-ish now):

Also:

 

[zibby43]

I am ridiculously pumped about Tevaun Smith, WR from Iowa.

 

Dude had at least 2 80+ yard TD receptions for the Hawkeyes last year.

 

6'2", 38" vertical, 4.4 speed.

 

Highlight video (potentially NSFW lyrics):

All highlight tapes look good but the Colts need a RB like this on their offense.

 

Hopefully they give him a chance to prove himself when he gets here.

I remember a few months back Grigson saying they are very intrigued in getting a player like Darren Sproles. I'd say Ferguson is the kind of player he was talking about.

[BPindy]

I don't want to buy straight into the hype and say all these guys are going to be amazing, but our roster may look very different this year

Naff is huge..... 6-4 324!

Pretty stoked about the Anthrop pick..he has a lot of potential and is deceptively fast. Had he not messed his knee up and had a better quarterback throughout his career at Purdue I believe he could have been a first/second round pick. Danny comes from a very athletic family, his younger brother just signed on as a RB at Purdue and is also a beast! Hope Danny sticks around.

 

Of course Im a little biased.....he's from my hometown, and his Uncle is my coworker!

Why on earth would you call him Barry Sanders????   Just kidding.  I get your meaning.

 

I like comparing him to Sproles.  His size and speed.  With that improved O-line, I think he'll do well.

[BPindy]

Based on his Facebook (went to school with him),

 

Marcus Leak, WR from Maryland has been brought to the Colts as well!

 

6'1 212 lbs

4.49 40 yd

20 bench reps

37.5 vertical 

 

very talented, plays faster than his time and has greats hands. Walked away from Maryland for a while and had to take part in UNC Charlotte's pro day

[Ace Boogie]

I like what I see from this Anthony Sarao kid. Looks athletic and like has has some coverage ability. Doesn't try to do too much just makes the play and is in position to do so 

 

 

[MasterCrief]

I would not be surprised in the slightest to see four or five UDFAs on the 53 man roster come week one. I think we've got a few good ones.
