WIDE RECEIVERS


With only three of their 14 receivers under 6'0", their average size is 6'0-4/5", 202.2 pounds with a 6'4-5/6" wingspan and 9'0-1/8" hands. The Colts clearly aim for guys in the ballpark of at least 6'0" and 200 pounds, with speed also being a big factor. This allows them to get separation, win 50-50 ball situations and even pick up yards after the catch.


Drafted/signed as UDFA by Chris Ballard: Parris Campbell, Daurice Fountain, Ashton Dulin, Steve Ishmael

  • Each was at least 5'11-7/8"
  • Each had a wingspan of at least 6'3-5/8"
  • Each was at least 205 pounds
  • Each had at least 9-1/2" hands
  • Each had a 40-yard dash time of at most 4.59 seconds
  • Each had a 10-yard split of at most 1.65
  • Each had a short shuttle time of at most 4.38
  • Each had a vertical leap of at least 32-1/2"
  • Each had a broad jump of at least 121" (except Steve Ishmael)

This is a group of long, athletic guys. In general, they're in the (at least) 6'0", 200-pound range. While they likely would've preferred everyone be at least 6'0", they fell in love with Parris Campbell's speed and playmaking ability. He's also only an eyelash under 6'0". Only one of them had a 40 above 4.51, a short shuttle above 4.29, a vertical below 38" and a broad jump below 121" (Steve Ishmael).


Free agent/trade acquisition by Chris Ballard: Zach Pascal, Devin Funchess, Dontrelle Inman, Marcus Johnson, Chad Williams, Artavis Scott, Malik Henry, Rodney Adams

  • Each was at least 6'0-1/2" (except Artavis Scott)
  • Each had a wingspan of at least 6'1-3/4"
  • Each was at least 183 pounds
  • Each had a 40-yard dash time of at most 4.56 seconds
  • Each had a 10-yard split of at most 1.66
  • Each had a short shuttle time of at most 4.49
  • Each had a broad jump of at least 116"

This is a tall, long group of guys who can go up and get the football. They generally had quality 40 and short shuttle times, and broad jumps.


Already on roster: T.Y. Hilton, Chester Rogers

  • Each had a vertical leap of at least 35-1/2"

While they're different athletes, Hilton and Rogers are both faster, athletic receivers who lack elite size, but were both picked up by the former front office.
