There’s reportedly been another new defensive hire for Colts’ veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo’s inaugural Indy coaching staff.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Indianapolis Colts are hiring Chris Hewitt as their new pass game coordinator and secondary coach:
The former defensive back for the New Orleans (1997-99) has had a lengthy stint as a professional assistant coach for the Baltimore Ravens—having previously served as their defensive backs coach (2012-19), pass defense coordinator (2020-21), pass game coordinator and secondary coach (2022-23), and assistant head coach, pass game coach, and secondary coach (2024).
It appears as though former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, as the Ravens’ new senior secondary coach, occupied at least part of the position that Hewitt recently vacated.
Hewitt was a Super Bowl Champion as a member of the Ravens coaching staff in 2021.
The Ravens’ pass defense allowed the 2nd most passing yards at 4,468 last season.
Hewitt is the second reported hire for new Colts veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo’s coaching staff, joining linebackers coach James Bettcher this early offseason.
