Jaylin Simpson: Signs to Indy practice squad
Simpson was signed to the Indianapolis practice squad, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Indy's 2024 fifth-round draft pick may get time on the practice squad to develop as a cornerback as he was a safety in college. Given Indy's lack of new talent in the secondary, he could get a chance in a regular-season game at some point.

Colts' Jaylin Simpson: Fifth-round target for Indy
The Colts selected Simpson in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 164th overall.
Simpson is listed as a safety but at 6-feet, 179 pounds he's tiny even by cornerback standards. With that said, the Auburn product also boasts athletic testing that grades highly by cornerback standards. Simpson's 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 39.5-inch vertical will definitely play at corner, and the same is true of his outstanding reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms). Perhaps Simpson is a bit of a project for the Colts, but these are raw materials that can clearly refine into something useful with a little luck.
