With significant playing time up for grabs, a big opportunity awaits Colts' DE Jaylahn Tuimoloau.

Indianapolis Colts ' second-year defensive end Jaylahn Tuimoloau has a big opportunity in front of him this summer to carve out a significant role on defense. Entering OTAs and then training camp in July, the start spot at defensive end opposite of Laiatu Latu will be up for grabs. "Man, just truly blessed for the opportunity to just go out there and do what I can to just help the team," Tuimoloau said.

"My rookie year, just being able to learn. Learn from the guys in front of me, Tyquan, Kwity, Samson, Latu, Buck, head to toe, from top to bottom. Just being able to gain just a lot of information, especially going into this offseason.

"Like I wanted to come back different. I had no vacation. Only vacation I had was going back to the family, playing golf.

That was it. But other than that, it was just keeping my head down and just grinding. Just wanting to come back and come back in a different shape and come back looking better.
