Let's take a closer look at what a few draft experts had to say in their scouting reports about new Colts' S AJ Haulcy.
In the third round of the 2026 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected LSU safety AJ Haulcy. Let's take a closer look at Haulcy's game with what a few draft experts had to say in their final scouting reports. Haulcy has ample experience playing both free safety and down in the box near the line of scrimmage.
He's been a sound run defender by PFF's metrics and has had very good ball production in coverage, logging eight interceptions and 10 pass breakups the last two seasons. Haulcy brings a ballhawking presence to the Indianapolis secondary, and the Colts believe he has the versatility to fill a variety of roles in Lou Anarumo's scheme. Right away, Haulcy will compete for the starting safety role next to Cam Bynum.
