Grading Colts' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Akeem Davis-Gaither signings
The Colts signed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Akeem Davis-Gaither on Wednesday. Let's grade those moves.
The Indianapolis Colts made two more free agent additions on Wednesday, signing wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. Let's grade these additions. Westbrook-Ikhine had four productive seasons in Tennessee from 2021 through 2024, averaging almost 50 targets per year during that span.
However, with the Dolphins last season, he struggled to find his footing, totaling only 11 receptions for 89 yards, per PFF . For his career, he has caught 62% of his 225 targets, averaging 13. 5 yards per catch with 19 touchdowns.
Westbrook-Ikhine has been productive with the ball in his hands, picking up yards after the catch throughout his career. Davis-Gaither, meanwhile, played his first five NFL seasons in Cincinnati under Lou Anarumo. He had a career year with Arizona in 2025, totaling 117 tackles.
In coverage, he allowed 10. 9 yards per catch on 63 targets, while coming away with one interception and two pass breakups. He fits that versatile mold that Anarumo covets at the second and third levels, able to impact the game as a blitzer and operate in space as needed.
