Juanyeh Thomas, a safety who signed with the Indianapolis Colts, is competing for a role in the team's defense. Previously with the Dallas Cowboys, Thomas played in seven games last season, missing time due to migraines. He is noted for his ability to cover in pass defense, allowing only three targets over 156 snaps. At just 26, Thomas aims to secure a spot alongside Cam Bynum, although rookie AJ Haulcy is projected as the frontrunner. His performance in summer camp will be crucial, especially on special teams where he has significant experience.
