If the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> are still looking to add to their roster, Pro Football Network<\/a> believes that free agent linebacker Kyzir White should be on Chris Ballard’s radar.<\/p>\n

“White has the traits of a three-down linebacker, and he would be a strong fit next to Franklin,” wrote PFN. “Once a safety, he offers good athleticism, and he flies around the field as a tackler.”<\/p>\n

White was a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft by the LA Chargers<\/a> and would bring ample experience to the Colts<\/a>‘ linebacker room–something they need–having played 4,707 career snaps, appearing in 92 games while making 73 starts.<\/p>\n

White has been a very sound tackler over his career and found success last season as a blitzer, generating 21 pressures, according to PFF<\/a>. In coverage, he had one interception and one pass breakup, while allowing 12.0 yards per catch.<\/p>\n

If there’s a position where making an addition still makes sense, linebacker might be it. A signing doesn’t mean that Jaylon Carlies won’t start, but bringing in an experienced player like White would add some stability to this position group.<\/p>\n

Beyond Zaire Franklin, Carlies’ 242 career defensive snaps are the second-most at this position for the Colts.<\/p>\n

Not that any free agent signing at this stage of the offseason is going to break the bank, but the Colts have ample cap space <\/a>to make an addition if Ballard wants to go down that path, whether it’s White or another player.<\/p>\n
