He&#8217;s had strong ball production in his career as well, recording <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TaylCa01.htm\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">38 passes defensed<\/a>\u00a0with seven interceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He has been quite effective in man coverage, as <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ZachHicks2\/status\/2034012868807372996?s=20\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow\">Zach Hicks<\/a> noted recently, which is an important element to playing cornerback in Anarumo&#8217;s defense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I think it&#8217;s his scheme,&#8221; Taylor-Britt said of playing under Anarumo, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colts.com\/video\/cam-taylor-britt-2026-free-agency-press-conference\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Colts.com<\/a>. &#8220;He knows my kind of gameplay and how tough that he loves his corners. Like to come up and hit, play man-to-man, come down and just play grimy football, and I think that&#8217;s kind of the way that I&#8217;ve succeeded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">However, over the previous two years, Taylor-Britt&#8217;s play has been up and down. He&#8217;s been penalized 16 times during that span and allowed a completion rate of 66%,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> per PFF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Over his career, Taylor-Britt has seemingly been boom or bust, either limiting the opponent to very little or allowing a big play. He&#8217;s surrendered 14.6 yards per catch in his four NFL seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">With the Colts, Taylor-Britt will be competing for a roster spot in what is a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/coltswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/colts\/2026\/03\/19\/nfl-free-agency-colts-updated-cornerback-depth-chart-after-signings\/89224884007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">crowded cornerback room<\/a>. Realistically, Taylor-Britt, Mekhi Blackmon, Jaylon Jones, Johnathan Edwards, and Cameron Mitchell are competing for two or, at most, three roster spots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Given Taylor-Britt&#8217;s familiarity and fit with Anarumo&#8217;s system, that should help him hit the ground running.\u00a0Ideally, his presence elevates the competition and raises the floor of the Colts&#8217; cornerback room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I bring that athleticism,&#8221; Taylor-Britt said. &#8220;I feel like I bring a different vibe from the other guys &#8212; they&#8217;re very dynamic in every way. So most definitely I feel like I can fit in and bring my physicalness and then some ball skills, man.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 23, 2026, 7:16 a.m. ET Among the numerous additions that the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0have made in free agency, GM&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":828934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95878,7,6,49915,95900,95882,95903,95896,95888,95906,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-828933","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","12":"tag-sstsncolts","13":"tag-tagamerican-football","14":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","15":"tag-tagnational-sports","16":"tag-tagnfl","17":"tag-tagoverall-positive","18":"tag-tagsports-news","19":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
