Indianapolis Colts General Thread

**** that bust. I’d never draft a black player with an ignorant Ebonic name that starts with “La” “Ja” or “Da”. That’s just me though. His mother was a retard, chances are her bastard son is as well.

NFL.com scouting report on this bum. From the “Sources tell us” section:

"He's going to get beat up because he's slow but I like everything else he does. You would think scouts would learn about overestimating speed and underestimating tape. He'll go in the first but not sure how high." -- AFC Southeastern scout

We’ve been saying this here at CF since I can remember. When it’s a white player, any perceived lack of speed is almost certainly a nail in the coffin. But when it’s a black player, the narrative suddenly switches to “watch the tape instead of overestimating speed”. This guy has accomplished almost nothing in 9 NFL seasons but is still in the league.

A new breed of Tight End continues to flex it's muscle



COLTS – The Colts on Tuesday signed undrafted free agent tight end Carson Towt.

Towt most recently played as a forward for Notre Dame Basketball in 2025-26. Prior to that, the 6-foot-7, 250-pound athlete played basketball at Northern Arizona from 2019-25. While at Northern Arizona, Towt set the Big Sky Conference single-season record with 423 total rebounds in the 2024-25 season (leading the country) and recorded 20 double-doubles.

Towt did not play football in high school or college.

In addition to tight end Carson Towt, who Twenty-Two recently featured, Colts signed another very intriguing prospect!

When I replied in a CFL thread last fall, I assumed Toronto safety Derek Slywka was, by far, the top White, NFL prospect in the CFL. I knew Slywka and U. of Windsor linebacker Devin Veresuk (Hamilton) were the top rookies in the Eastern Conference, but figured Veresuk would not get a sniff because he played at a Canadian College. I was wrong. While Slywka got some attention in the CFL to NFL free agent window, Veresuk got much more and eventually signed with the Colts.

If the highly productive Veresuk does make it in the NFL, he'll immediately be dubbed a "lunchpail" player or a "high IQ" type. But reality is he's unlike most CFL non-imports: He's full-sized, country strong and NFL explosive for a linebacker his size. Check out the eye-popping numbers he posted at U. of Buffalo's 2025 Pro Day (4.47/40, ect.). Also, look at how explosive and powerful he looks running back this pick six in his first pro start. That said, considering the NFL's Caste System, I would've advised him to bulk-up and refine his game another year (or two) in his native Canada.

Alex Singleton starred and established himself for 3 years in the CFL, before signing with Philadelphia. Jumping to the NFL now will likely relegate Veresuk to a practice squad, at least to start out. Now that said, Colts are really desperate at linebacker and NFL practice squad players get paid much better than second year CFL starters. For example, veteran, White CFL star running back A.J. Oullette is one of the highest paid players in the league, making only about $160,000 per season.
