Colts Sign Jerry Tillery for Pass Rush Boost

NFL 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.

Tillery 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. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Your pillow just got smarter.
