Colts preview EJ Horton as potential contributor to WR depth

The Indianapolis Colts continue their training camp preview with rookie wide receiver EJ Horton, who stands 6-1 and weighs 190 pounds. Horton, known for his 4.40 speed, recorded an average of 20.1 yards per catch during his 2023 season at Marshall, following a year at Purdue with an average depth of target at 15.2 yards. Competing for a roster spot, Horton joins a crowded wide receiver group that includes Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. The Colts traditionally carry only five or six receivers, making Horton's path to the 53-man roster challenging. Pre-camp discussions will focus on whether he can secure a practice squad position.
