Under-the-radar Colts' training camp competition off to shaky start
An under-the-radar training camp battle for the Colts doesn't seem to be off to a great start.
An under-the-radar position battle at the Indianapolis Colts' training camp has not been proceeding smoothly. The identity of the backup center remains uncertain, with Dalton Tucker and Jimmy Morrissey currently handling the majority of second-team snaps. The roster also includes undrafted free agents Geno VanDeMark and Josh Kreutz.
Throughout the first four practices, errant or off-target snaps have been a recurring issue. Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan commented on the persistent snap problems, noting that even spring training presentations showed similar concerns. The backup quarterbacks Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson have also experienced difficulties catching snaps.
In previous seasons, Danny Pinter served as a dependable backup center, but he is now playing for Baltimore. Tucker has no prior center snaps at the college or professional level, while Morrissey has accumulated 258 such snaps in the 2021 NFL season. VanDeMark and Kreutz are rookies, contributing to an inexperienced group showing early signs of struggles at training camp.
