Colts safety competition heats up ahead of minicamp with Cam Bynum, AJ Haulcy

In preparation for minicamp, the Indianapolis Colts are facing a competition for the starting safety position. With Nick Cross leaving the team in free agency, Cam Bynum is expected to lead the charge, with AJ Haulcy seemingly having the early edge to start alongside him. Haulcy, a third-round pick, possesses versatility and strong ball production, which could enhance the team's defensive strategy under Lou Anarumo. Other contenders for the position include Johnathan Owens, Juanyeh Thomas, and Hunter Wohler, each bringing different levels of experience and skill sets. As the competition unfolds, all players will have opportunities to showcase their abilities throughout the preseason.
