Colts expected to sign Tremon Smith

Had to google him. Fast guy it seems

I had him mocked to the Colts in 2018. Meets all of Ballards measurables including ball skills with 15 collegiate interceptions!

 

Plus at 4.38 speed he was a great returner for the Chiefs who fiddled around with converting him to running back last year....then he bounced around with the Packers and Eagles during the season last year.

Yep, you told me all about him in another thread. This guy seems solid overall and young with a lot of potential. Very happy to get him on the team! Nice call Scott! Letting you know that on two threads!

We had a decent amount of contact with him before he was grabbed by the chiefs coming out of that draft.  I know the name and I knew he was really fast.

Smith doesn't really move the needle for me as a CB. He struggled when given the chance with KC, and bounced around since. Fast guy, but really struggles in a few key areas. Very raw, from an almost pure "man" system in college, and probably has a lot more upside at returner than CB. Long strider which doesn't normally translate to DBs. Needs a lot of technique coaching, as well as experience/coaching in a C2 atmosphere.

They officially signed him and cut Kendall Coleman.

I know very little about this guy but I love the 4.38 speed factor.

Found these a few minutes ago. The first is his draft profile, and the second is his rookie year review. 

Pretty close to what I said earlier.

T.J. Green had 4.38 speed too. Lol  So it doesn’t always translate to the field.  But like you, I know very little about this guy though.  Could be a decent depth signing.

Kendall Coleman was Waived to make room. Kinda surprised. Coleman was one of my darkhorses to make the team

I'm kinda surprised too. Not that I though Coleman would make the roster, but I simply don't see Smith as being all that at DB. Tell opting out us threw a curve ball IMO. Or, some of the new CB signs aren't working out as planned. Or, they are very happy with how DE is looking...

I at first read your post wrong (T.J.) ... At first I thought, I remember E.G. Green, the WR that came in with Jerome Pathon and Peyton Freaking Manning. What I remember most about him was that fractured leg. It was one of those that looked like he had an extra joint where one isn't located. So was there really a guy named T.J. Green that ran a 4.34 forty time? I don't recall him.  :)~ ...

I hope you're just joking because most people around these parts know who TJ Green is.
