Tracking Indianapolis Colts' 2012 NFL Undrafted Free-Agent Signings
Undrafted free agents are an important roster-building tool for NFL teams. Most of the players signed after the draft won't make NFL rosters, but a couple from every team will.
Here's a complete list of everyone the Colts have signed based on media reports.
WR Griff Whalen (Stanford)
DT James Aiono (Utah)
LB Chris Galippo (Southern Cal)
CB Micah Pellerin (Hampton)
CB Antonio Fenelus (Wisconsin)
CB Cameron Chism (Maryland)
DB Buddy Jackson (Pittsburgh)
OL Hayworth Hicks (Iowa State)
OL Steve Baker (East Carolina)
OL Jason Foster (Rhode Island)
WR Jabin Sambrano (Montana)
S Matt Merletti (North Carolina)
P Brian Stahovich (San Diego State)
DE Kevin Eagan (Endicott)
Griff Whalen, Wide Receiver, Stanford
1 of 14Stats
Catches: 56
Yards: 749
YPR: 13.4
TDs: 4
Scouting Report:
A former walk-on without great speed, Whalen is a good route runner. Obviously, his familiarity with Andrew Luck is a bonus.
Chances of making final roster: 15 percent
The Colts have Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Donnie Avery and just drafted T.Y. Hilton and LaVon Brazill. The odds of Whalen beating out any of those players is long at best.
James Aiono, DT, Utah
2 of 14Aiono has battled injuries and was not productive in college.
Odds of making final roster: Less than five percent
Chris Galippo, Linebacker, USC
3 of 14Galippo is undersized and had injury troubles in college. He wasn't a regular starter at USC.
Odds of Making Final Roster: Less than five percent
Micah Pellerin, Cornerback, Hampton
4 of 14Pellerin has trouble in coverage and isn't very good in run support. He translates as a free safety in the NFL.
Odds of Making Final Roster: Less than five percent
Antonio Fenelus, Cornerback, Wisconsin
5 of 14Fenelus was highly productive in college and was All-Big 10. He's not big, but he loves to tackle and play special teams.
The Colts aren't deep at corner, and Fenelus has a chance to make a name for himself.
Odds of Making Final Roster: 45 percent
Cameron Chism, Cornerback, Maryland
6 of 14Chism has the right size and speed to play corner in the NFL but is very raw. If he can learn proper technique, he could be a diamond in the rough for a team in need of corners.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 45 percent
Buddy Jackson, Defensive Back, Pittsburgh
7 of 14Similar to Chism, Jackson looks the part of an NFL corner but has a lot to learn about the position. He's an athlete who needs to learn to be a disciplined defensive back.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 45 percent
Hayworth Hicks, Guard, Iowa State
8 of 14Hicks is a big, mauling guard. He's got great size and is a terrific run blocker.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 25 percent
The Colts are looking for big run blockers, and if he comes in and makes an impression, he could steal a backup spot.
Steve Baker, OT, East Carolina
9 of 14Baker stands 6'8" and weighs more than 300 lbs. He's a big, strong tackle, but his height may mean it's difficult for him to get leverage at the next level. He's very fast and is an intriguing prospect.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 25 percent
Jason Foster, Offensive Tackle, Rhode Island
10 of 14Foster has excellent size and good college production as a run-blocking tackle.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 25 percent
Jabin Sambrano, Wide Receiver, Montana
11 of 14Sambrano ran a 4.4 40 at his pro day. He is fast and was productive in college.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: Less than five percent
Matt Merletti, Safety, North Carolina
12 of 14He's a potential free safety, who is better in coverage than against the run. He's still learning the safety position and has solid measurables, but he has battled injury issues.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 15 percent
Brian Stahovich, Punter, San Diego State
13 of 14One of the nation's top punters, he was first team all-MWC in 2010.
Odds of Making the Final Roster: 0% (unless Pat McAfee gets hurt)
Kevin Eagan, Defensive End, Endicott
14 of 14He played at a former women's college. He's 6'4", 276 lbs.
Odds of Making the Final Roster
Honestly, I have no idea. There is almost no available information about Kevin Eagan.
