The Colts have a Top 10 secondary headed into the 2025 campaign—if you ask PFF.
According to PFF, the Indianapolis Colts have the NFL’s 10th best secondary headed into the 2025 league campaign:
10. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are expecting bounce-back seasons from free-agent additions cornerback Charvarius Ward and safety Camryn Bynum. Ward had consistently graded as one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks before a down year in 2024, while Bynum has proven capable of steady play at the pro level. Cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Kenny Moore return as dependable contributors, and safety Nick Cross posted a 70.3 grade in his first season as a full-time starter.
With the arrival of new veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, the Colts wasted no time adding much needed talent to their depleted secondary. The Colts inked both safety Camryn Bynum and cornerback Charvarius Ward to lucrative multi-year deals within the first wave of this year’s free agency.
Bynum brings a high football IQ, ball skills, and dependability to the backend of the Colts secondary, while Ward brings a tenacious, sure tackling bona fide #1 cornerback, the likes which the Horseshoe hasn’t seen since the late great Vontae Davis—who was a Pro Bowler for Indianapolis from 2014-15.
Jaylon Jones has been a very pleasant find for the Colts, as the former 2023 7th round pick has developed into a solid outside starting caliber cornerback—with 2 interceptions and a forced fumble last year during his second pro season.
Samuel Womack III, who the Colts claimed off waivers last year, was a revelation this past season, keeping the Indy cornerback room afloat despite a number of key injuries at the position. He projects as the team’s top depth at cornerback—along with former 2023 2nd round pick, JuJu Brents, who remains talented, but has also been oft-injured to-date.
Lastly, Kenny Moore II remains one of the best veteran slot cornerbacks in all of football.
It’s not hard to see why the Colts secondary unit narrowly cracked PFF’s Top 10 best.
