According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Indianapolis Colts free agent safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. is signing with the Atlanta Falcons:
Harrison Jr. appeared in 10 games for the Colts last season, recording 2 tackles and a forced fumble.
He had initially been competing last training camp (2024) for one of the starting safety jobs with Nick Cross, who eventually won out. He was a surprising release as part of 2024’s final cuts but was later re-signed to the Indy practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in late October of last year.
Most Colts fans may remember his 2023 season in Indianapolis though, in which the SAF made 3 starts and had 2 interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown. He also had 20 tackles (11 solo) and 2 passes defensed during his 7 games that season.
For what it’s worth, while the Colts don’t have proven depth behind projected starters Camryn Bynum and Nick Cross at safety, rookie linebacker/safety Hunter Wohler has initially impressed and would likely be deployed in a similar role as Harrison Jr. otherwise would’ve had, if the Colts actually re-signed him.
At any rate, we wish Harrison Jr. well at his newest NFL stop!
