Which of the Colts' undrafted rookies could make a roster push?

In recent years, we've seen undrafted rookies Dalton Tucker and Johnathan Edwards make the Indianapolis Colts' 53-man roster out of training camp. Which UDFAs from the 2026 draft class have the best opportunity to accomplish that? Of course, how these players perform throughout the summer will carry the most weight when it comes to making these final roster decisions.

But also a key part of the equation is that the player has to be at a position where there is a potential roster spot up for grabs. For example, UDFA defensive tackle Cam Ball from Arkansas faces an uphill battle to make the team, just given his position. Ahead of him on the depth chart are DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart, Colby Wooden, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Jerry Tillery, Derrick Nnadi, and Tim Smith.

At most, the Colts likely only keep six at this position. So, taking into account those two important factors -- level of play and roster construction -- here are three UDFAs to watch for as offseason programs and eventually training camp begin. LB West Weeks, LSU The depth of the linebacker position for the Colts remains a question, which could open up an opportunity for Weeks to make a roster push.

Playing 564 snaps in 2025, Weeks found success as a blizter, totaling 13 pressures with three sacks. He recorded 66 tackles, missing 11, and in coverage, held opponents to 9. 1 yards per catch.
