Colts Sign Jerry Tillery for Pass Rush Boost

0:00NFL stories making news on March 19th. The Indianapolis Colts just signed veteran defensive tackle Jerry Tillery to strengthen their front. This former first-round pick enters his eighth NFL season with 113 games under his belt and 53 starts. He's been super durable too, playing at least 15 games every year, and not missing any over the last three seasons. Over the past four years, Tillery has worked mostly in a rotation role, averaging about 450 snaps per season. The majority of his work has come rushing the passer, with more than twice as many pass-rush snaps as run defense ones. Last year with the Kansas City cheese, he notched 12 pressures and even chipped in on special teams. Analysts see this as a smart, low-key move for the Colts. They like how his experience can steady the defense even in a limited role. Tillery himself highlights his flexibility across positions like nose tackle, three technique, and even the edge. This signing ramps up competition at defensive tackle behind stars, defores, buckner, and grover steward.

1:03Tillery will push guys like a deadamaiwa at a bow or a, and Colby wouldn't for snaps, especially on passing downs. Overall, the Colts hope Tillery boosts their pass rush and raises the whole group's play. His scheme smarts in aggression could fit perfectly in their setup, making the line tougher to handle.
