Defensive Line

  • Jabaal Sheard
  • Justin Houston
  • Denico Autry
  • Tyquan Lewis
  • Margus Hunt
  • Al-Quadin Muhammad
  • Kemoko Turay
  • Jihad Ward
  • Ben Banogu
  • Grover Stewart

The Colts rotate a lot of different defensive lineman in for different situations. Houston was added this offseason to add more pass rush to the unit. Sheard is very adept at playing both the run and pass at a solid level. Autry and Hunt were very productive last season on the interior. Muhammad is a run-stopping defensive end while Turay and Banogu are young players who add speed to the edge rusher group. Lewis and Ward are versatile players who can play either inside or on the edge. Stewart adds size and bulk to the unit.

Player to watch: Gerri Green
