Feb. 28, 2026, 6:51 a.m. ET<\/p>\n

On Friday of the NFL combine, the cornerbacks were one of the position groups to go through the on-field testing portion of the event. This is a position where the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> are positioned well heading into the offseason.<\/p>\n

It looks like the belief as of now is that Charvarius Ward will\u00a0continue to play<\/a>\u00a0in 2026. Joining Ward are Kenny Moore, Sauce Gardner, and\u00a0Justin Walley<\/a>, whom Shane Steichen is excited to get back. For depth, the Colts<\/a> have Johnathan Edwards, Mekhi Blackmon, and Jaylon Jones.<\/p>\n

Below are the top performers at cornerback from each\u00a0NFL combine event<\/a>.<\/p>\n
