» What kind of jump will Mo Alie-Cox make?
In April 2017, the Colts signed Mo Alie-Cox as an undrafted free agent out of VCU. Oh, and he didn’t play football in college, mind you; he was a basketball standout. That’s right: after having not played organized football since middle school, the Colts saw something in Alie-Cox that made them believe he could be the latest in a line of college basketball players that could make the successful transition into an NFL tight end. A year and a half later in Oakland, Alie-Cox leaps in the air and, with one hand, grabs his first-career NFL touchdown, and two years later, with Doyle and Ebron on the mend, he’s making play after play as the team’s No. 1 tight end throughout the offseason workout program. It’s been a quick transition for Alie-Cox, who has not only impressed with his skills as a pass catcher, but has caught on to the blocking aspect of the position quite well, too. While he isn’t a finished product by any means, the coaching staff is excited about the prospect of Alie-Cox being a playmaker in Indy for years to come.
